at the beach

On Saturday night we headed over to Bolsa Chica State Beach for a BBQ/bonfire shindig. My friend Sandra and her family had about 30 people at the beach for some good old fashion fun. I've known Sandra from the early 90's from our fun days at the pharmacy and we've kept in touch over the years.

It was a beautiful night at the beach and boy it was packed. Good thing Sandra's husband Eddie snagged a fire ring because it got chilly later. The boys enjoyed playing in the sand, kicking the soccer ball around and makinig s'mores. They survived the few hours without any electronic gaming devices.


We didn't get to the beach until about 7pm because that previous day at Soak City got the kids and me a bit sunburned. I didn't want to spend any more time in the sun than we had to.

The sunset was pretty in the haze.

Tyler is showing off his handiwork. It's a castle with a bridge and moat.

Believe me the pictures later of Tyler resemble the Joker from Batman. He was just getting started on that cupcake with red frosting. Tyler has an incredible knack for getting any kind of food ALL AROUND HIS MOUTH. Seriously. It isn't pretty.

Joshua agreed to wear a sweater and looks very dashing.

Plus he is a much neater eater although not by much.
