The fruits of the evening's labor.

The best part of halloween is there are clear instructions everywhere to have your parents "check" your halloween candy. In our household we take this very seriously and parents actively "check" much of the candy to make sure it tastes just as delicious as it looks.

Mall Rats


After a rough day of shopping for boots, the amazing chairs of Mr. Brookstone certainly hit all the right spots.




If only the dang remotes made any sense at all.

Goat milking. Not sure who had the worst time, the goat or me. I used lots of hand sanitizer afterwards. Not good.

Free Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Day!

Yes indeed, free ice cream at Ben & Jerry's.

I had Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Only person in the universe to eat ice cream out of a cone with a spoon. (Dad eats chips with a fork so there!) Delicious.

After that I tried Cake Batter. Yuck. Dad finished it off.

Then I tried the Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road. Nasty. Dad finished that off too.

So then back to more Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, but then I got too full so Dad had to finish that off as well.

Dad did not need to have any supper.

Windsurf

Here is a picture of Dad helping some windsurfer dude set things up. (Dad is the one in the blue shirt.)

The windsurfer dude was mostly terrified that the kite would blow into the trees behind the beach. His instructions were when he gives the thumbs up to let go of the kite. Nobody was really sure whether he was giving a full thumbs up or not...

Update:

Aftermath - Windsurfer dude sailed away...














Aftermath - While just standing there holding the kite, Dad managed to dork his toe...

Hey, I found a horseshoe crab by the beach. Was a little smelly as if you could not tell by my expression. Wasn't allowed to bring it home on account that it might escape and start biting people. Here's the proof that I actually touched it (but only a little).
