This weekend was full of outdoors activities, thanks to the awesome weather we've had the past few days. We broke out the frisbee and hit the park. We dusted off our fishing poles and went fishing. We got some gardening done and just enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine.
I posted this song today (above) because sometimes when I'm out at the beach, I often think about what it looked like 30+ years ago before all the hotels, parking lots, shopping plazas and touristy "stuff". I remember practically living at the beach as a child, especially during the summers.
One thing I really enjoy about living near a beach is people watching. I love strolling up and down the sidewalks and watching people converse on a Sunday afternoon. I love listening to the live music played by someone who probably lives off of nothing, but sings and plays guitar because it's what he loves to do. I love seeing children playing on the playground, people playing volleyball, some are lounging in lounge chairs watching the birds and waves while others are getting a bite to eat and enjoying others' company. There's just something about being at the beach on a weekend afternoon.
That was us this past weekend. We fished off the pier and caught a REAL dolphin show, not at Shamu stadium. They were probably 300 yards from us in some pretty shallow water just playing with each other, and no doubt, catching all OUR fish!!! We didn't catch a thing. The kids were pretty disappointed, but at least we had an excuse..."the dolphins needed the fish more than we did". :)
We also hit the park, let Riley get out some energy catching the frisbee, exploring the water (Riley went for a brief swim in the lake!), watching the wildlife and just relaxing. Here are some pictures from our weekend. I hope everyone enjoyed theirs!!!
This guy had his eye on us the whole time, hoping for a 'catch of the day' I guess.

Rob and I did some fishing of our own (alone!) this weekend as well.

I'm trying to sprout some organic mango seeds. So far, so good!
got these little ones into the ground this weekend too...whoo-hoo!
I also dried out some organic acorn squash seeds
I found these on sale at the grocery store for 99 cents each. Can't beat that! I love finding these deals. :)
