Down by the sea

On Friday, Neal surprised us by coming home around 3:00 (Fridays are usually more like 7:30 or 8). Since it was a pleasant afternoon, we decided to head for the coast (which is exactly what we did last time he had a surprise day off, last May). Obviously, we like the water! We went to a quaint little boardwalk town and walked around, feeling the breeze, eating Mexican food, and riding some amusement park rides. Here are some pictures!

Somehow, I ended up on this bounce-up-and-down-really-fast ride with the kids. It was hilarious. We all laughed the whole time, with a few screams thrown in, too.

Miles was entranced by the ferris wheel.

My boys on the boardwalk.

I love these three little people.

lots and lots of fun... adventures like this are always much more exciting when they are spur of the moment. we went to disneyland this weekend, and had one of the best times ever. I think it has something to do with the fact that we didn't even get there until 8pm.

The portrait of your children is beautiful, Leslie. Love the three of them posed together and the water/sky in the background.
Are you sure Judy didn't snap this shot?? :)
