Beach Babies

The ocean is one of those things you take for granted living in Vancouver. I loved the ocean views from my dorm at UBC and our apartment in Kerrisdale, but when we lived that close, we didn't go down to the beach that often. Live farther away and you do miss it.

Yesterday we had a great afternoon with friends in Tswassen and after dinner went down to Centennial Beach. Kiera had lots of fun wading in the water...

saying "cheese" for the camera...
and throwing rocks.It wasn't long before Dayne joined in on the fun. We were amazed at how long selecting and throwing rocks kept them busy. (And amazed that there were no casualties: no matter what way they aimed, every rock seemed to veer towards someone's head.)

For these two beach babies, the days as the baby of the family are numbered. Dayne will be a big brother any day now and Kiera has only four months to go before she becomes a big sister.
