I have a ritual of bringing my children down to the beach every night around sunset. We always find great treasures, big and small and think about the stories behind them...a little crab shell or a feather left behind.
Before the children's heads rest on their pillows for sleep, their feet have been in the sand and they have witnessed a very profound part of the natural surrounding beauty we are so blessed to live in. Undoubtedly more sand gets in their beds, but it's so worth those summer memories.
