Almost feels like the Caribbean...

almost. I looked up the tide times for our local beach (can you believe it's only a five minute drive from our home?) on Friday evening, with the intention of getting up early to make the most of the sun before it got too bright. High tide was listed as 7:30am - perfect. Any earlier and we wouldn't be able to get the boys out of the house in time.

We arrived to find this. It was almost breathtaking. The beach doesn't always look this good, we have such varied tide levels that most of the time the water isn't this close. It was so fun for the boys to walk along it and throw pebbles. What a blessing to have this on our doorstep.
