Beach Baptism

When Olivia was a few weeks old in Virginia, we, along with Justin's parents, took her to the Atlantic Ocean and dipped her feet in the water. A sort of Boyd rite-of-passage since they love the ocean so much. Olivia loves the ocean and is showing her Boyd colors. We decided that Charley needed to be "baptized" as well so we took her to the Atlantic Ocean and dipped her feet in to carry on the tradition. What's cool is both girls have touched the Atlantic from the east side and west side now. Olivia in Virginia and Charley in Spain. We are sad that we did this without John (Papa Boyd) as he would have loved to carry on the tradition with us. But Mama Boyd was here and dipped Charley's feet in. And although the water is still fairly cold, Olivia could not resist going swimming.
