A Day off

Darrick had the day off today because they are in stand down right now during the first leave period of the holidays. Darrick heard they were having big waves at North Shore so we drove up there. It is such a beautiful drive and the weather was perfect. We stopped at Pipline first but no surfers. Then we went to Sunset beach and found some surfers. We sat under the shade of a palm tree and watched while the boys played in the sand. The surfers were good. It is also fun to watch the silly tourists who do not obey all the bright orange flags and large signs that say "NO SWIMMING". There are always a few who think they can still go in and the lifeguards come and blow their whistle and tell them to get out. On our way home we stopped and had shave ice with ice cream in it, yummy!

This afternoon Charlie and Alex came over to play while their mom did some shopping. All the boys were so good and I think they had every toy in house out. We also fed all of them dinner and it went really smooth. We had BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs.

I put our boys to bed while Darrick went out to do some last minute Christmas or birthday shopping. I wonder who that could be for...
