Eli Leads

All the boys loved the day at the beach, but Eli led the crew in all things ocean, sand and surf.  It is funny that my little one that looks like a surfer boy really is a surfer boy at heart.

He was the first to approach the waves.

The first watching and contemplating the ocean


Searching for inspiration {as mommy searches for a frame}


Inching closer


Waiting


Getting caught {in the coldest water ever}


And loving it.


And getting soaked {because the cold really doesn't matter (to him)}




Taking on the ocean


Sand building


Staying in the ocean so long his lips turn blue and he is shivering. {and warming up with towels and cuddles from mommy}


Digging with daddy


And loving the beach just a little bit more than everyone else.
