Running Along The Beach
i heart faces Challenge, Week 23: Play
This is Angry Kid. This is Angry Kid after his first jaunt in the ocean. Yea, I know, we live in Orange County. We have never taken Angry Kid to the beach before. Angry Husband loathes the sand, the beach, the beach traffic, and the parking. I had an impulsive moment, go figure, and jumped in the car. We headed towards Huntington Beach. It was immensely crowded. The AVP Tour was going on this weekend. I obviously didn’t get the memo with my spontaneous beach trip.
Oh and by the way, Angry Kid loved the ocean. Even after a medium wave came up and smacked him to the ground. He wants a surf board. I told him that he needs to learn to swim first. Did you notice all the sand in his hair? He had also just spit out a ton of salt water and sand that he ingested. He is a boy. He will survive.
My parents came over for dinner on Memorial Day. We fixed up some last minute hamburgers and hot dogs. I will say last minute, because I picked up some things from the grocery store at 4pm, on Memorial Day, on the way home from work. I was tempted by all of the goodies aka cupcakes, cookies, and other sweet goodness. By I actually chose to be a little bit healthy, who knew! I bought some fruit to cut up, because it looked delicious and practically screamed, “summer”.
I had to make “the dip” for the fruit though. It is a very simple and “not so healthy recipe”. 8 oz. of cream cheese plus a jar of marshmallow cream. You mix it together. It is that simple, seriously.
I had to throw in another beach photo. Angry Husband was burying Angry Kid in the sand. Do you see the jeans and t-shirt? I said it was “spontaneous”. Angry Husband finally gave in, and sat down. He even made some castles with Angry Kid. He may have been a little angry about the sand getting anywhere.
It has been awhile since I’ve gone to the actual beach. You know right down where the sand meets the ocean. I forgot about all of the interesting outfits that people wear the beach. I saw some inappropriate bathing suits, bikini bottoms with hoodies, people wearing clothes in the ocean, and biker shorts under a one-piece woman’s suit. I just gave Angry Husband “that look” several times.
Since I’m writing about summer, I thought I would include my lunch from today. I could not think of anything to eat for lunch. It was way too hot and nothing sounded good. I decided to go with the “Yogurt” food group, along with the strawberries, gummy bears, and Butterfinger food groups. Yea, I need to go to the gym this week, alot!
And it is just the beginning of June. I can’t wait to see what the rest of summer brings us!
P.S. I think I’ve tried all of the local Frozen Yogurt Shops. Yogurtland is my fav!
