Take Me Down To The Ocean

"Take me down to the ocean.
Take me down to the sea.
Set the feeling in motion.
Forget the tied up time and let my spirit free."
- LeAnn Rimes









Finally, it is starting to feel a little like summertime here in Helsinki. To think only a week ago was the first time we left the house without a jacket on and today we are on the beach, soaking up some rays. The boys were ecstatic to return to the beach for some sand toy fun while getting our feet wet. The water is still an unbearable temperature, but it is nice to at least have the option.










The grounds were crowded with people of all ages to get a little color on their pale skin from the winter months. With music playing, grills lit, and Frisbees in the air, smiles were what I noticed most. It is amazing what a little sunshine can do to everyones attitude.
