Favorite moments

Some of my favorite moments from our annual beach trip aren't at the beach. They aren't from kayaking. It's not sitting on the deck overlooking the canal.

It's the walk there.

With this girl. Who is filled with unbridled joy in the moments of anticipation before we hit the sand.

She tells stories.

And makes silly faces.
(Did you notice the fancy wardrobe change? And time of day change? And...okay, the picture above is from a different day. I'll admit it.)

And makes more silly faces.

And gets a little animated.
(Okay, more than a little. She doesn't do anything just "a little." She doesn't know how to live life halfway.)

I love how she just enjoys life.

Oh, wait. Did I call it a walk? Maybe it would be more accurate to call it the run there.
