The beach and the fair

On Friday we went to the beach and we all got burned. The entire Webb family (with the exception of Alex) have red faces and necks, shoulders, etc. We didn't see the sun the entire time we were on the beach. In fact, the temperature hovered around 60 degrees but we still got some serious sun on our faces. Ah, the joys of vacation. We did get to see pelicans diving just off the shore for food and seals that were playing in the surf. The boys built huge holes just out of reach from the ocean and then taunted the waves to come and get them.

Yesterday my dad, Darrel, Alex, and Johnathan went off to golf at the course right beside the condos where we are staying. They had a good time except when Johnathan got thrown out of the golf cart and ended up with what will prove to be a very nasty bruise. Darrel made a hairpin turn that Johnathan was not prepared for and he went flying out of the cart. He's a tough kid, though, and he enjoyed the rest of his day. After they came home from golfing they went swimming in the pool that is not more than 25 steps away from our back door and in the late afternoon we all left for the county fair that is going on right now. The boys rode the rides, we watched some shows, looked at the merchandise for sale (we bought some techni-ice Joy), looked at the cows and then we went to the rodeo. It was a very fun and full day. After the fair we came back and stopped at Cold Stone for a treat.

Today is a slow day. My mom and I are going to take my dad to the airport (about 90 minutes away) and then we'll come back. The boys will probably stay here and play some games. Then this afternoon we might go to the Armstrong Redwood Forest and walk around. I think that would probably be an appropriate Sunday activity.

Hopefully later we'll be able to upload some of the pictures we have taken so we can share them with you.
