Flashback: Smita breaks it Down

This is a flashback from December last year.  Smita's Hospital had a large Christmas party last year and as you can see, Smita had a great time. :-)

Go Fly a Kite!

Usually, the title of this post can be said with venom to mean 'Go Away!  Leave me alone!'.
However in this case, we meant it literally!  This weekend was the 38th Annual Festival of the Kite and we gladly flew a kite.

We didn't wait till the end but I'm pretty sure the guy next to us won because he had at least 1000 feet of line on his kite.  Here are some shots and enjoy the new week!

A little R&R for the Engineers.

What a day!

A Perfect Southern California Day!

Today was a perfect Southern California day.
Clear blue skies, warm sun rays kissing our skin and golden sand, gentle ocean breeze blowing at just the right moments to cool you off and cold ocean water to dip your toes into if you were so inclined.

I didn't surf today or yesterday due to the lack of sizable waves so we opted to enjoy this perfect day together as a family and I am glad I did!  Now to share with the rest of you..here goes.

Isn't she looking fit?  CrossFit!

Shells just want to be picked up today!

Don't make me have to save you, Mum!

Finito!
