I can’t believe it’s already July 1. It’s just crazy how quickly the summer is moving. Sure, we got out of school a little late, but we’re already about done with our second week of summer vacation, and it’s just moving way, way too quickly.
Thankfully, we’ve had some really great beach days and some super nice pool days, too.
My favorite time at the ocean is during the morning hours. The sun sparkles on the water, and there is a certain calm that isn’t there any other time of the day. Ethan, my mom and I have been hitting the beach around 8:00 a.m. a few mornings a week and taking full advantage of the ocean’s beauty.
This photo would make my dad smile, just like it makes me smile. I think of him every time I step onto the sand, and see the ocean’s beauty and I know that somehow, he’s enjoying these days right along with me.
