Walk on the Ocean

Remember that song from Toad the Wet Sprocket?  I use to love it.  Anyhow, that song was running through my head when I was working on this scrapbook page.  I wanted to scrap these pictures from our trip from Virginia Beach this spring.   Liz wanted to swim in the ocean SO BAD, but it was too cold.  You can see her pouty face in the bigger pic because I wouldn’t let her put on her swim suit.  (I’m such a meanie!)  The round pic is her running out of the ocean after I gave in and said she could put her feet in.

I never knew that was Toad the Wet Sprocket song...and how the heck did they come up with that band name??

Anyway........fun layout! I like the three circles on the bottom and how you distressed the edges where the sentiment is!

Have a great day!
