afternoon at the ocean

yesterday was in the 40s, so i did what any mother would do after weeks of 20 degree weather... i took ella to the ocean to play.

it was so beautiful. the sky was amazing. really cloudy, but luminous at the same time with splotches of color coming through the grey.

aurora and s. joined us, and we all had fun running across the open space and splashing in the wet sand.

after our playdate, i took ella to momby's for a sleepover. we told her that we'd been to the ocean and she asked elenora if we'd gone in the water. ella exclaimed "we forgot!" and i said, "what did we forget?" and she said "we forgot to go in the water!" as if, if we'd only remembered, then certainly we would have gone in.
