Mr. Eli is a pretty timid little boy, but hes not shy about touching crabs, hermit crabs, or star fish on the beach. I love it. When Bryan was little he called these things and shells and rocks "treasures". Eli is learning to find beach treasures too!
we were "Skipping rocks". Eli was just loving throwing them- even caught a picture mid launch.

that is one sharp looking columbia fleece on that little guy... the word 'treasures' reminds me of the anne morrow lindbergh book 'gift from the sea'. if you haven't read it i would suggest it for this summer as you find different shells. they will take on a different meaning after this book... one of my favorites, a quiet, easy but thoughtful read. the summer will be full of all kinds of treasures and each year he will find new things and remember some of the treasures from past years too. the joy in bryan's face as he is teaching his son about crabs is priceless (as is the joy on eli's face as he discovers a new treasure too)....
