Day at the Beach

We took a break from renovation (since Claire and I are integral parts of demolition and remodeling) and went to the beach today. We went with Aunt Rachel and Aunt Jen and Cousin Joe and Rachel's roommate; who looks eerily like her twin separated at birth. It was cold, like 68 degrees cold, but we had a good time anyway, playing in the sand and even sticking our feet in the surf once or twice; but no more than twice, cause it was freezing.
I love how you can capture a moment in time with a picture and it looks so sweet and innocent to everyone who looks at it but if you were there you would know it wasn't really what it looks like. I caught one of those moments with Joe and Claire today. In the midst of Joe's efforts to either throw Claire into the surf or keep her from being anywhere near the fun he was having in the surf I snapped this:

Sweet huh? and the best part is, ten years from now, they will never know that they weren't best buddies playing at the beach with big, brave Joe protecting little Claire from the surf. :) Memories are funny things.
