Home at Last...

Friday was Mr. Tech's last day at school and he got out early so we had a little time before sunset to go to the beach WITH daddy. We took the quick little ferry ride to Balboa Island for fun for the boys.
While there we walked out on a little dock where this guy came by with his rather unique Personal Flotation Device.

I don't remember what these boats are called but they look fun, we had to wait for them coming and going while crossing on the little 3 car ferry.

Contemplating...something??

We then headed over to Balboa Beach for some quick fun in the sand and a beautiful sunset.

Being fascinated with the waves that kept coming to get their toes.

About 2 seconds after this picture was taken a large wave snuck up on us.It wasn't deep but since he happened to be in this bent over position it rolled up his knees and down his chest thoroughly surprising and drenching him. Thankfully there were some spare clothes in the car.

The sunset was beautiful indeed.

So we flew out this morning at the reasonable hour of 10:30 am, the boys were awake for most of the two hour flight and as anxious to be home as we. We were again supposed be in separate rows but as we took off the stewardess noticed that I had my row completely to my self again. She said Mr. Tech and Leroy could move up since the oxygen mask wouldn't be an issue without the middle seat being taken. Yahoo! that made sense to me all along but that 's the first time a stewardess has agreed. So we're home at last for the next few days and then head out for the Thanksgiving holiday (driving). But no more flying for quite a while, we'll be collecting ourselves for the next few days here and trying to get used to being home and having room to run about and not live out of a suit case and such like. (It won't be hard)

As a P.S. to the last post I hope it wasn't taken that I don't like CA. The particular area we were in is highly inhabited and I've never enjoyed city living much. From the plane we enjoyed seeing some of the remote areas, some high hills/mountains dusted with snow and many lakes among the rugged hills, it definitely has a beauty of its own as all of God's creation does. The uniqueness of the different regions is always an amazement.
