eat, shop, watch them play

We picked my mom up early this afternoon for my traditional Mexican food meal at El Norte. There were lots of surfers out this afternoon enjoying the surf and sunny skies. 

However, the boys were feeling a little under the weather, so we aborted our plans for playtime at the park thinking that running around would not help their state of being. Instead, I suggested, as we were coming up to the Carlsbad Country Stores, that we walk around the outdoor shops and everyone agreed.  

Melanie has been very good luck the past couple of days, helping me with my missionary wardrobe, finding a couple of illusive items—a navy suit and  navy shoes!

 

 

 

It was a one stop shopping trip for me. Then, we were off to watch my brother Fred and my nephew, Tyler, coach basketball. As an added bonus, Fred and Sherri’s son, Chase, and Tyler’s brother, Neal were playing, so there was plenty of cheering in the stands with all the family and friends. Sherri and I had fun chatting about vegan diets and health trends before and in between play.
