John's treasure was a starfish he found while digging in the sand. What a rare and perfect treasure to find. Just like he is my rare and perfect treasure from the Lord.

Alex's treasure was a tide pool on our second day on the beach. He had decided he didn't like the 'brown water' of the ocean but much preferred the 'blue water' of the pool. But, once he discovered this tide pool he told me 'actually, Mom this water is perfect for me.'

There were many treasures on the beach...many shells, waves that were ridden in on the Boogey board, castles built, airplanes flying low to see. So, many simple things to enjoy. And I as a parent enjoying it all, too. Treasuring every single minute, every single shell, shout of each new discovery and for this precious moment in time to capture their innocence and childhood as a treasure for me. I think this vacation will be one I will treasure forever.
