i {heart} faces ... at the beach ...

in the land of 10,000 lakes, i figured we were bound to have a minimum of 10,000 beaches to choose from. we don't frequent lake beaches often. mama has a fear of fish in the not-so-clear water nibbling on her toes. she's trying really hard not to let that phobia rub off on the girly-girls.

back to the beaches ... they aren't quite your white sandy beaches of the warmer regions of the world ... but they are beaches, nonetheless. and if you work really hard to avoid the shirtless men in the canoe and the man in a purple and gold jersey fishing for dinner ... they make for a rather decent photographic opportunity.

alas, my poor little complaining and sick with an ear infection stella was forced to endure an evening of beachiness.

mama wanted to enter a beach picture over at i {heart} faces this week. (i'm still crabby about missing the feet week ... life kinda got in the way ... but i did catch a cute footy-ish picture at the beach tonight that i'll share soon.) visit i {heart} faces for more beachy pictures ...

note to self. in the midst of an evening filled with ear infection whininess ... distractions are a definite must. and the beach is a good place to start.

poor baby ... i hope you feel better tomorrow. thanks for being such a good sport.
