11th anniversary

Michael golfed the course across the street from our rental house. The boys and I went to the beach, we walked and played and even napped. It was a sunny warm day with only a little breeze. Puffy white clouds skidded by, reflected in the wet sand of a nearly pristine beach. The hardest part of the day was climbing the dunes while pushing the stroller! Later, we went to dinner at McMenamins. While we waited for our check, a very nice man stopped by our table to say how good our boys were. Then his adult son came, too. Then the man left and came back with his wife- so she could see them up close. It was like a little celebrate the boys party. I wonder if- before dinner- they were saying to each other "Shouldn't those poor babies be in bed?" We did get started around 8:30. The boys colored their menus and ate in relative happiness and only hollered HI! at a few of the wait staff. When we got back to the house we closed our evening with a nice cup of organic whole milk and a trio of Thomas the Train videos.
