What a perfect day!

When you see a face like this EARLY in the day, what else are you supposed to do?


Figure out a way to turn that frown upside down!
I said, "Let's pack up the car and head to the beach!!!!!!!"
Another reason why I LOVE LIVING IN CALIFORNIA!!!


He called his friend SpidaMan to join us! HaHa...
Hello, SpidaMan I'm DJ!



The three of us went to the beach and had a great time.

The weather was perfect.

Operation HomeFront was there to give out prizes, food, books and more!

There was one particular station at the beach that really touched me.

It was called the Feelings Station. It was geared towards families of deployed service members.
You start out at the check in desk where you gather a balloon of your favorite color and find a table that describes how you feel about the deployment of your family member.

For instance, if you're ANGRY, you can write down or say your feelings, then POP the balloon. The popping of the balloon was to symbolize releasing those feelings. I'm sure I'm not explaining it correctly but, hopefully you can understand what I'm trying to say!

Even though D's home from deployment, he thought it would be a good idea to take DJ on the tour of the feelings station. I'm sure DJ had NO idea what was going on but, he enjoyed the snacks and popping balloons. Any reason to pop a balloon, my son is all over it! HaHa.

Overall, we had a really great day. I'm still finding sand in places I'd like to forget about!



Question: When was the last time you made a spur of the moment trip? How was it? What did you do?
