A short walk

to get to a place where the shoes all watched the waves roll in

and the crabs hid from the tiny hands that held them

and tunnels peeked out from our spot on the beach

we had to take a little walk...

our house was a block from the sea

but we found a way to make even the simple stroll an event to enjoy

we stopped at "mr.Gecko's" palm tree before we crossed the street

and said said hello

and always visited {but not to closely} "mr. cactus"

to wish him well

and the littles got to choose what big would hold their hand

....or  their body

I am not sure who loved it more............
