(this flower was growing on a bush downstairs from our little condo--so pretty!!)
The next day we spent time hanging out in the morning while it was misty and grey (it was misty and grey and a bit chilly every morning until about noon, it was nice.) Kris and I went for runs--separately. Max watched a movie and Sand took a nap. Then we walked to Rubio's and had fish tacos for lunch.
Max threw a big fit about something at lunch--I don't really remember what it was about now, just that it was ridiculous. That's why he's not in the picture.
After we got back it was all beach for the rest of the day!
Kris stayed home with Sandy while Sand napped. Poor Kris has a board exam coming up in Sept, so he was glad to have some study time.
Max and I went boogie boarding. The waves were pretty huge.
(this is the wrong day but the right beach)
I haven't been boogie boarding in AGES. It was really fun and I think Max was having a blast with me out there. We rode a few waves in together and it was rather thrilling. Rather thrilling that is until my nice nice sunglasses that Kris got me for Christmas were ripped off my head and dragged off into the deep blue sea.
I was pretty bummed about that and Max and I spent a while looking for them. It was a lost cause. Max was sad and tried to make me feel better with more boogie boarding, but the savor had gone out of it. (I still boogie boarded more with him of course, but it just wasn't the same.)
Later Kris came out with the Sand and I tried to get Sand to enjoy sitting in the sand. He did NOT like it. I sat him down with just his feet in the sand and he was so disturbed. SO mad. Then later I tried to stand him in the sand and he refused. I would lower him down towards the ground and the lower he would get the higher he would tuck his feet up. He just would not touch it.
But of course, he would eat it. I sat him on a towel so he could look around safely. He like that pretty well, and of course decided to start eating the sand. Such a dork.
BLAH.
A sandy Sandy eating sand.
It was such a fun afternoon. Everybody had a good time (maybe even my sunglasses escaping their drudgery on my head.) Nobody got sunburned, though I had a close call. I wish we could do it again tomorrow.

That is a beautiful flower! Glad you had a great trip. I wish I could get away tomorrow too. :) The boogie boarding sounds awesome.
The image of Sandy tucking those chubby little feet up in absolute refusal to touch the sand is HILARIOUS. <3 I'm sorry you lost your glasses, though! D:
What a fun trip! I just read the last few posts- I love that pic of Max on his new bike! Sandy couldn't be more adorable.
I never did boogy board - but I KNOW I ate sand. Great shot of the beach. I can hear it in my head - the water, the gulls, the voices. The hibiscus - not a real flower, you know. Somebody makes them somewhere and sticks them into plants. How else would you get that gaudy dang pink on the stamens? Must have been nice, even though K had to study, to be together somewhere else - all together. And ditto what Chaz said.
