Family Outing

I had a long day of work and finished up in Carpinteria around 6:00. Adam, Owen, Nana and Pappy met me at Padero Grill for dinner. For those of you who don't know, this is an awesome place for kids to eat! It's outside like a big backyard with a huge sand pit full of sand toys. It's right on the ocean, but you can't access the beach at the restaurant because there are bushes, rocks and railroad tracks that divide you. (you can get to the beach by walking about 2 minutes down the road.) We were there just before the sun set over the water. He was running along a path in a circle only to reach Pappy and "scare" him each time by saying "Boo!

Owen got to run around, eat mac and cheese, chase seagulls, play in the sand and watch older kids having a birthday party (mostly 12 year old screaming girls....at one point he imitated a scream 'quietly' and then put his hands over his ears! We thought this was hilarious! Guess he is not a fan of squealy girls ;). When we were getting ready to leave, a woman from the BD party came over with a piece of cake just for Owen. She said that he was such a "patient good boy" and thought he should be rewarded. He was thrilled! I wish he would be that excited to eat broccoli!

On a side note....My Hydrangeas are looking good!
