Husband's Day

We for a couple of weeks we had been planning a Saturday at the beach including friends (Gabe and Leslie and 2 year old Brooklynn) and food. Friday night Ammon came home from work with a list of things we were going to do at the beach. And I think we accomplished them all.

Saturday morning I gave Ammon an early Husband's Day (Father's Day) present...a Boogie Board! Then we headed off to the beach! Our friends who came with us also had a boogie board, so have 2 at the beach was perfect! We'd take turns going out and riding the waves! (Check!) We found that if we go out pretty far, one of us gets on our board, wait for the perfect wave, then give them a big push, then they can ride the wave all the way in. It was such a blast! We also brought kite-making materials to the beach and made kites! (Check!) Complete with wooden dowels, string, white trash bags and markers! We forgot to bring tails, so we tied some smarties candy that we had brought to string and made that our tail. They didn't fly super well, but we had fun making them at least! We also made sculptures in the sand! (Check!) We had sea turtles, star fish, and faces; Brooklynn had a fun time smashing them for us when we were all done! Our epic fail of the day was not enough sun screen. It'll take a few days for us to really feel better. We're still sleeping with ice packs :(

On Sunday we had English Muffin sandwiches for breakfast, went to church, relaxed (I think we just watched movies and frequently put on aloe lotion) and had Parmesan Chicken for dinner! We finished Husband's Day with some Howie's Root Beer (Ammon's favorite brand of root beer) and ice cream cake!

I think this weekend was a success!
