Rock the Boat and Keep Afloat! While this incredible summer weather persists, we took advantage of it and went to the beach. The kids were excited to be taking out the kayak and were bickering about who would go first! The sea was calm and cool and there was a soft breeze sweeping in across the beach. The boys immediately ran into the water and yelped with delight! I have always loved the ocean. I feel at home there and it brings me back to my childhood where I spent so many days at the beach. The sea in Ireland is much colder and rougher but that's not to say that the hidden currents here are any safer. As kids we always had rules about respecting the power of the ocean and staying safe. I'm very firm about this with my kids too. They get so excited by being in the water and feel so safe there that sometimes they forget to stay in the shallower area. I make sure not to take my eyes off them! It was my turn for the kayak. I love paddling out far from the beach where I feel the wind stronger and enjoy the sensation of my arm muscles stretching more and more with each stroke. There is a silence out there that is magical and I always feel a sense of calm as I pull away from the...more
