Beachy day

Yesterday we went to the Berkeley Marina with Alisa, Duncan, and Liam and the boys had a grand old time playing on the beach, digging in the sand, building dams and so forth. They got plenty dirty and wet but had a great time. It was a really nice day, sunny and in the 60s, which was nice after several days of rain. They were really ready for some outside time. (Sorry we didn't have a chance to stop by, Mom!)

On the way back we stopped at the Westfield Mall in Fairfield in hopes of hitting a food court since no one wanted the same thing, but it didn't have one. Even the pizza they had, which was our hope for Douglas to eat, was weird and in the shape of a hockey puck, so he was really mad about it. That was a bit of a disaster. Well, now we know.

Owen and Dan saw the play Johnny Tremaine in Sacramento on Saturday with a friend from school and his dad. They enjoyed it. Apparently the book has never gone out of print but it has never been made into a play before. Owen thought it was pretty cool.
