We wanted to take the girls to the Shore but since we did not know how they would take to the ocean we decided to go just for a few days.  Overall the trip was great – and even though they did not care much for the ocean and the waves, they loved the beach (their first reaction to it was ‘Look – sandbox, big sandbox!’)  So we settled for building sandcastles and looking for whales.*

*one of their favorite cartoons is the Flying Whales from Fantasia 2000 so as soon as they saw the ocean they told me that mama, papa and baby whale were there.

I do admit that I am a bit subjective but I just love how the image below came out.  It was taken on a grey and gloomy day when we had the whole beach to ourselves.  It was absolutely perfect and so peaceful – the only sounds we could hear were the sound of the ocean, seagulls and the girls laughing – what could be better than that?

I spent some time playing around with the colors in this image and am so happy with the result – I think it conveys the mood of that day – serene and peaceful. And it captures Mia and Alexa so perfectly – always together and always hurrying to their next adventure.  It is my favorite image of them at the moment and I ordered as a giant canvas – can’t wait to get it!
