Tuesday Evening

Last night the kids and I headed down to the Redondo Beach pier for some diversions. I brought along 2 cameras, a film SLR & a DSLR so the kids were wondering why I was taking twice as long. :)

My kids.

I got them dinner and ice cream so that was fine for them. It's kind of funny how Tyler "discovered" calamari so now I can order it and he will eat some also. I can't get over the fact that the boys are only 3 years apart yet the height difference is astounding to me!?! I guess what's more astounding is that Tyler's best friend, G is a year younger than Tyler and the same height as Joshua. I just have to face the fact that Tyler is in the 95th percentile just like when he was a toddler. (He was projected to be about 6'2"). Go figure.


The fish were biting last night as many families come down to fish. One man tossed his fish onto the ground for this bird. I didn't have my camera ready but the bird swooped down & held it in his beak for several seconds before gulping it down.

I've consulted my bird book and narrowed it down to a heron, possibly a juvenile. I'm going to look further into this...





The weather was mild and not at all chilly like it can be around here so that made our evening pleasant.



The clouds were so pretty and the sailboats were out en masse.



Overall, we had a nice evening with the fresh air and ocean.
