Thanksgiving was a little different this year. Without a kitchen, I wasn't able to cook a turkey or make my usual sides - sweet potato souffle, cranberry relish, pies, etc. But I bought frozen pies (my oven was still working at that point) and baked rolls from frozen bread dough. That was a little tricky because I didn't have counters to put the rolls on to rise. But it worked out, and dinner was delicious. Thank goodness for family nearby! The day before Thanksgiving, Dave got off work early and we went to the beach. The kids were off school all week, which was awesome.
We went to Morro Bay, and it was wonderful. Lots of sun and not much wind!
As usual, it had great boogie-boarding waves.
I love sand pipers! If you've seen Finding Dory, there's a really fun short at the beginning with these cute little guys. It even takes place in Morro Bay!
Spencer had just gotten home from a 4-day school science thing at Santa Cruz Island. He loved it!
Tyler spent most of the time detangling seaweed and playing with them.
Of course Dave packed the frisbee. That's his favorite beach activity.
Check out these cool frisbee-catching pictures.
Tyler made a seaweed instrument, complete with finger holes.
He also made a seaweed telephone.
It got chilly as the sun went down. Luckily we made sure the little ones had a change of clothes.
We stayed and enjoyed a beautiful sunset.
Tsss! Afterwards we went to dinner at Great American Fish Company. One good thing about our house flood is that our insurance company is paying for us to eat out all our meals. We ordered a few big seafood combo platters, which everyone loved! Except the oysters, of course. Only a couple of the kids liked those. It was a really fun day!
