The Joy of Childhood

Saturday was a beach day. We had had a bad storm on Thursday night, hence the amount of flotsam on the beach, but Saturday was a cold but calm day.
There is something about the sea, or actually any water as far as our children are concerned, that draws them to it no matter that it's the middle of December or they've had any amount of well meaning advice about how cold wet can be.

 They just can't help themselves!

These photo's to me sum up the joy of childhood and that freedom you only have as a child, unencumbered by the reservations and cautions of adulthood.

 I think the beach is a magical place.
