The beach, the wedding, and the play

I know. You can't believe it. The old folks are blogging. All you need to know is that we went to the beach a week or so ago. The tide was lower than it had been for quite a while so we were able to go out on the rocks quite a ways and see tidepools with starfish, anenomes (sp?), mussels, irridescent seaweed, some crabs, and lots of barnacles. Dad, Kristy, and Brian were able to see a few sea lions swimming nearby.



The next day Kristy and I went to Sea Lion Caves. Most of the sea lions were out on the rocks, but a few were in the cave. (Dad, Brian, and I went during spring break and the sea lions were mostly in the caves because it was stormy. About 220 of them supposedly.) It was fun to get out and see some new things.



Last weekend, Kristy and I went to cousin Shanna's wedding. We stayed with Steven and Pam so we could help Linda get the food and church ready for the reception. Our Shanna did the live flowers. She did flowers for the cake, but the arrangement was slightly too big for the bottom layer, so she and Evan and Kristy brainstormed and came up with a plan to make it fit.



It was fun to see Steven and Pam, Linda and Alan, Gaylynn, and some of their kids again. We went to Mom and Dad's for Mother's Day and made them a too salty meal. Dad was just getting over a nasty cold, and Mom was just starting it. I wish we could have stayed and helped them a bit longer, but we needed to get back home.



Brian is in the school play, "Beauty and the Beast." We are going to watch it tomorrow night. That's the report around here until something slightly interesting happens.
