The creativity of kids leads to a seemingly endless number of ways to enjoy a day at the beach.
This past weekend I watched a blond haired girl about five years of age filling her plastic blue and yellow watering can with sea water. Once filled, the watering can must have weighed nearly as much as the girl herself but she resolutely carried if up to the sun-bleached sand and sprinkled circles around the feet of her parents, brothers, and grandparents.
Some twenty minutes later I looked back and saw the girl was still transporting water from ocean to sand with limitless energy. I nicknamed the girl Daughter Nature. Though on a much smaller scale, she was copying what Mother Nature does on a tireless basis - lifting moisture from bodies of water and raining it down on land.
