Bonus Weekend

Last week Mistah said to me, "What are our plans this weekend?"

As if anybody has any idea, ever.

But I looked at the calendar and said, "It's not Labor Day, it's still August, the weather is forecast to be outrageously awesome . . . and we have no plans."

Boom. Bonus Weekend.

So what do you do when an opportunity like that presents itself?

You do everything.

And what do you take photos of?

These guys.

They were awesome and cool and weird and they totally scared Rachel and Michelle and there was no reason to be scared, people. They were awesome! And okay okay, maybe just a tiny bit scary.

It was Pride Day at Ocean Beach Park and we are Proud of being Proud.

Oh, look! Me!

Definitely me. And Kendra.

And rides . . .

And Jason either before or after he got hit by a car while playing his accordion on his bicycle, or hit a car while playing his accordion on his bicycle . . . who really knows?

Not me.

Our fearless leader . . .

. . . and our fearsome friends. Man, how we love them.

OB was just kind of perfect and we spent a lot of time down there . . . but we also spent a lot of time down there all summer and we were feeling the love for our beach and our great good luck to have it and, well, I like that whole Endless Summer idea . . .

Thumbs Up, OB . . .

Meanwhile, back at the ranch . . .

 . . . we celebrated with BECTs . . .

. . . and enjoyed the largess . . .

And I think it's pretty clear we live in heaven.

What would this world be like without an Ellie?!
Keep on loving, living, and laughing (yeah, it's that old trite saying, but hey it's true! live, love, laugh.... what could be better or more medicinal!?)
