Playin Hookie!

We all got up today, with the plans of a normal day.  I rose to start my morning chores, make my list of "to do" things, get kids ready for school, Chris was downstairs already starting his day.....

We were all ready/showered/fed, and the bus for Lauren is coming up the hill, and Chris comes upstairs, "Let's go do something today".... so we all jumped at the idea, and we all played Hookie!
---Lauren put down all of her stuff with a smile
---I forwent all my things on the "to do list" and instead, packed us a lunch
---Joshua went squealing and skipping through the house as we ran around to get last minute stuff

A beautiful, sunny, 70 degree day awaited us, and we were off--destination unknown.

The kids in the back, playing on their elected electronic devices, Chris rocking out to his music, and me relishing in the fact that, at that moment, no one was fighting!  :-)

We ended up at an ocean park that is fairly close to our house.  Here are some of the things that kept us entertained:

......being silly........

......feeling the wind in our hair.....

.....finding sea snails.......

.........finding the perfect stone.......

........hurling rocks......

.......playing in the ocean.....

........searching tide pools......

.......feeling the cold nip of ocean water in May on our toes......

...........just running around being........

.......making level 1 Angry Birds obstacles courses.......

.........level 2........

......level 96.......

........level 100, the Angry Bird finale...


...........posing.......

..... and taking in the beautiful sites!
