"Beach Baby" rough sketch, 8x10, copyright Erin Rogers Pickering
Our little girl is most definitely a beach baby! She believes that the beach is the greatest place on earth, well, maybe second only to an amusement park!
But, a day at the beach for her is really like going on vacation. The water, the shells, sounds of crashing waves, the planes going by pulling ad banners, the bright umbrellas, all the kids, and last but certainly not least... the potential for sand castles!
I think when she first approaches a new beach she imagines great big elaborate fantastical castles... with moats, towers, windows, and flags flying! She never quite gets there, as that rhythmic, pounding surf continues to call her in and away from that castle of her dreams.
No matter, there is always next time!
