Walker Talk

Today was the official first day of spring break for the kids (Tim still had to work, poor guy), so after sleeping until almost 8:00! and a full morning of chores, we took off for the base library. Yes, it is FINALLY open again, after being closed for almost a month. We came THIS close to not making it that long without new books and dvd's- but we've had our fix now, and things can get back to normal. (Actually, I cheated on the dvd part, since we bought "Meet the Robinsons" and "Enchanted" during the time they were closed.) Once at the library, the kids fanned out to look for books, and I perused the dvd selection, trying to find movies that would keep us all entertained and busy for the next week of no school. Suddenly, without warning, this caught my eye:
Yes, it is indeed "Back to the Future", the complete trilogy. Well, of course I checked it out, and we indulged in a reminiscing and 80's partying at our house tonight. Let me just say what an experience it was to watch this with my kids. Back to the future, indeed.... And it is definitely not flattering to have the kids making fun of the 80's hairstyles, music, etc.. It can't really have been 23 years since this movie came out, can it? I can't be old enough to remember that long ago.

Here are a couple of pictures from our walk the other day. These are both from a walk I took with Emma and Annie the other day. This walking path (we call it the "boardwalk", even though there are no boards around), is about a block from our house, and follows the ocean for more than a mile. Tim and I take our walk here every day. I'm trying not to take it for granted now, since I know I'm going to really miss it once we're back in Utah. For all its great qualities, Utah just doesn't have a good ocean view.

Enjoy this photo of the pretty lilies that are growing everywhere right now. They are gorgeous, but it's relatively rare to find them undamaged by rain or wind. These were perfect.
