It was a grand weekend, full of anything but labor...and I needed it! Jake and I spent Saturday with Grandma and Papa Ed, Uncle Mike, Uncle Gary and Aunt Penny at the pier in San Clemente. It's such a great place. We had lunch at the bar side of the pier, the most excellent clam chowder in So Cal, with a beautiful view of the sparkling ocean and great service. Then we took a leisurely stroll down the 1/4 mile pier, looking in every fisherman's bucket to see what they caught and listen to the fish tales.
Sunday, we took off for the high desert to visit Papa and Grandma Suzie and the rest of the clan for the B Boys Birthday Bash. We had a great time swimming in the pool, snacking all day and celebrating the September birthdays. At one point in the evening, Shawn looked around noticing my brother and my dad on their laptops, my other brother and my sister on the x-box...and said, "Babe, you should have brought your laptop". If I had, we could have all been in the same room, IM'ing each other and would have had no need to talk at all, lol. Is it possible my family is entirely too techy...or is this the new age??
Monday, we got up and went right back in the pool. Jake had a great time squirting everyone with a super squirter...though he needed help aiming it and playing in the kiddie pool dad had set up on the grass, right next to the big pool. At one point, dad threw a huge yoga ball into the pool. We all had great fun trying to balance atop the precariously tall ball. Shawn was the winner, lasting a good 10 seconds on top. As I watched us all balancing on top of the ball, looking like beached walrus', I thought to myself that it's a good thing we're all on the road to better diets and trying our hands at being health conscious in one way or another.
I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend as well.
