We had a fun time on Memorial Day watching our grandson
while his parents had a day out and about. After lunch we took a walk down to
the lake where people go to have picnics and swim in the roped off beach area. It was
a popular place on that day, many families were out enjoying the holiday
weekend.
We got M. out of the stroller and sat him in the sand to
play. He would not keep his sun hat on! He liked the feel of letting the sand
stream out of his hand. He wanted to crawl right out onto the muddy wet sand
and into the water but we nixed that. Another thing he liked was to find fallen
twig branches from the Cottonwood trees and strip all the leaves off one by one,
oh and pulling fistfuls of grass was fun too.
Such a cute age of exploration.

The first of many trips to the beach, I'm sure. Maybe he'll even get Dad to go into the water! Anyway, there will be countless opportunities to explore the world, now that M is approaching his first birthday. What a joy to see God's creation becoming aware of his surroundings. It brings back memories of our children as they took their first steps.
