A Day to Chill and Watch the Sunset
Monday thru Wednesday were pretty grueling and non-stop, so the girls and I opted for just chilling at the beach house for most of the day on Thursday.BTW, this beach house was awesome. This is the way to go on vacation. All the comforts of home, we can cook our own meals and bypass all the fast food, and everyone has their space!
(Hey! I'll do a post just on the beach house next!)
After sleeping in ridiculously late,Dan went back over to his Moms house to work on taxes again, and we just stayed put.
Meanwhile, we prepared food for an evening barbeque. (Dan's family was coming over late afternoon) Rachel and I explored the yard, or, SHE explored it while I swept the patio, chairs, barbeque grill, tables, fountain...yea, I pretty much had a sweeping FRENZY!
In case some of you didn't know, Rachel loves to look for "treasures" in the loosest sense of the word. By the time she was 3, she had wire collections, nuts and bolts collections, and lost key collections, just to name a few. Even at the ripe old age of 15, she still loves to search for "things" to collect! Love that girl!!While Rachel and I were doing this & that, Jessica did homework (BORING...) and Mary colored in her drawing book. Later in the afternoon, the girls got in their swimsuits and laid out to catch some rays and get their first tan of the year!
THEN...Dan, his mom, sister, and nieces and nephews came over around 4:30pm and we went down to the beach to take a walk and catch the "GREEN FLASH" of the sunset.

Grandma & Mary
The whole gang (except Dan who was taking the picture)
So much to catch up on....!
Mary, Mary, quite contrary....

Jess
One of the funniest moments came when a rogue wave got Jess unawares!It looked like she had a little oopsie in her pants!!
All in all, it was a great day. Quiet, fun, family, and some R&R!!
Oh yeah...we saw the Green Flash!! It was SOOO COOL!

This is La Jolla, isn't it? This is near where I lived in September.
Cute blog! You guys looked like you had so much fun! It makes me want to go to the beach :)
Hey, I was wondering, what is the "green flash" you were talking about?
I love you all!
Close, Danny! This is Pacific Beach which is just south of La Jolla! We thought of you lots while we were there - wondering "is this where Danny ran each day?".
Tricia: The Green Flash - when the sun sets on the ocean, just after it dips below the horizon, there will be a bright green flash. It only lasts a second or less and you can't blink or you'll miss it!
Hahaha i laughed so hard at that pic of Rachel showing Jess the crab. That Roni girl is so funny. She's always finding treasures :)
