Loving the Ocean!

We drove back to the beach on Saturday, August 14th to spend the week with our close friends and their kids (8 adults 5 kids total). We have spent quite a bit of time at the beach this summer and Sean has been afraid of the ocean each time. For some reason this week, he has lost all fear of the water. We are at North Topsail Beach, NC. When the tides change at there are great tidal pools and so the kids have had shallow water to play in. Once he got used to the water he was even ready to ride the waves! Now, he is brave and just runs right into the waves. He has been swimming so much that his legs are raw from his bathing suite rubbing it. I am glad he finally is enjoying the ocean. It helps that water here is like bathwater, even I have been swimming!
