Blown Out

I'm not referring to a hair salon term, when you have just gotten a fabulous cut and you're waiting to get your hair blown out to see the results. I'm actually referring to a term that surfer dudes use to describe unsurfable storm induced waves.

I couldn't stand up.

Tucker couldn't stand up....

....but that family decided that it was a good day to fly a kite.

The kite flew....

....but that family's dog made sure to stop by the only people on the beach to let them (us) know that his owners were insane.

We agreed.

Happy Super Moon & first day of Spring. 

4:00am

At exactly 4am on Friday morning the home phone rang. The caller ID said Newport Beach. In a daze I asked Tucker what to do. He said to answer it. I pushed talk. The recorded message said something like this: "This is an emergency. A tsunami alert has been issued for the Newport Beach area. Expected land fall at approxamatly 8:45am. [heart races.] No evacuations have been issued at this time. [feeeewww.] Coastal beaches are closed until further notice. Stay off the beaches! [noted.] " So much for falling back to sleep.

Luckily.... the city of Newport was able to test out their tsunami warning operations incase a real coastal threat occurs. Not so luckily.... have you seen the images of the tsunami serge in Japan? We are screwed.

Yummy!

Griff came to town last weekend for a hot minute thanks to President's Day. Additional company to our normal Sunday dinner shenanigans is always a joy. Griff brought his newest girlfriend, Ali, and Bryon &   Ashley also chowed down with the Cannon fam.

 We brought the boys bags of candy from the candy shop and they added their goodies to Garrett's homemade mint and chip ice cream.

FYI, Lola laying down is a rare occasion. That's why I had to include this picture.
