Happy Birthday, Bro - Oct. 1, 2005

Today was Dan's 32nd birthday, so we naturally had to do something fun. Dan, Andrew, mom and I started the day by going to breakfast at Hobees. After fueling up with some good food (and the best coffee cake in the world), we headed off to Santa Cruz. The weather was pretty good for an October day at the beach; foggy, yet a relatively warm 65° with no wind. First, we played on the beach; threw around theFrisbeee (Dan needs more practice =) and football, knocked around the beach ball, dug in the sand and buried sticks and Andrew's feet. Next, we walked down the Boardwalk, played a few games and Andrew won a plastic spider (Héctor) and lizard (Lupé). Andrew was starting to get tired, so we drove back to Dan's house and put Andrew down for a nap.

During Andrew's nap, we ate lunch (Wienerschnitzel), played video game hockey and Dan opened his presents (Sharks tickets and Gulper Eel from me - money and a spiral notebook from mom). When Andrew woke from his nap, Liz and Shawnna arrived at the house after shopping. We all hung out a little bit longer, played with Andrew and then went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen before heading home. It was a long, tiring but fun day.
