We went to the beach today. J and I leave tomorrow for Catalina Island with my parents and my bro and his family. M and C are coming on Wednesday, partly because M can't really take the whole week off of work, and partly because C has soccer camp this week, and it would be hard to miss it not only for the teamwork stuff but because we paid for it as part of our registration. :|

We went to Moonlight Beach, a great beach near us in Encinitas. The main section of beach was quite crowded, but just a short walk north about 100 yards and it was less so. And the main section is black balled (marked "no surfing" with a flag) anyway, so with C doing some surfing on his soft board, we wanted to be away from that area anyway.

Love this yarn!

C surfed, and J did his usual "wave jumping," of which his version includes M or I lifting him over waves, with an occasional spin:

And we found that:
- if you bring a regular shovel to the beach;
- so that a few dads can dig a cool lagoon;
- every kid on the beach will flock to it.

I'm off to the islands (okay, just one island, and it's not that exotic)!
