A Walk to Remember

The great thing about living in Costa Rica is being able to go to the beach whenever we want. However, JB and I realized the other day that we really don't go as much as we should. We don't plan on living here forever, so we need to take advantage of it while we can. Don't worry, we have decided to make more of an effort to go, especially since Levi is old enough now, so it's not too hot for him to be outside. The last time we went, I decided to have Levi touch the ocean water for the first time. 

It was a beautiful afternoon, with an amazing sunset, and the water was calm. It was low tide, so I picked up my monkey and we had a nice walk to the water. Then I paused, and let Levi take in the remarkable gift God created for us. Every time I see the ocean, I think of how incredible it is and how lucky I am to experience it so often. After a few minutes of enjoying the scene around us, I bent over and dangled his little toes in the water. He was brave and didn't get upset, not even by how cold it was. I let him enjoy the water for a few moments and then it was time to head back to relax in our lounge chairs and watch the sun fade away until tomorrow.

I will never forget this moment I shared with Levi. I think what made it so special was the meeting of one innocent being to another. It definitely was a walk to remember.
