Here is SoCal, summer starts late and ends late. May – June are often cold while Aug – Sept can be the hottest months. But the days get shorter, and this year the kids actually are back in school. Unfortunately with masks and with fear that the teachers union will once again shut them down – because they like the goodies but don’t like teaching.
So on the last day of summer vacation for the boys, it was back to the beach! We had been going to the park more than the beach this summer, and I missed it a lot.
There were hardly any people on the beach, but there were huge flocks of seagulls, I sent the boys into the middle of them – just because. Meanwhile, how cool is this bird and shadow?
Yes they caused mayhem, but it’s birds, its’ ok.
Even while chasing the boys, I managed to stop and snap this seaweed and feather.
They painted one lifeguard station rainbow. Maybe now that the LGBYQW I DONT CARE, have added other garbage to their flag, maybe we can have the rainbow back just as a rainbow? Or heaven forbid as a reminder that God will not destroy the earth again? Yeah, I’m being biblical.
View from the pier.
So now people go there to have their picture taken. I wonder if the life guard kicked them off?
I spoiled the boys! Got them ice cream cones – real big ones! No, Dad wasn’t happy, but I’m a grandma, I get to spoil them. Anyway, after this we spent about 15 minutes watching a leaf float down the edge of the street to a drain. These boys are so curious and can do something like that. A passerby was so impressed with that, not all kids are addicted to technology. Then it was on to another hour in the playground where they ran around with other kids and worked off some of the sugar high.
It was really hot over the weekend, so off to Santa Monica we went for some cooler weather. No, didn’t go down to the beach, just stood up on the palisade park and enjoyed the view. Interesting how there are no homeless there, Santa Monica must dump them all in Venice.
A new law was passed by LA city council that limits where the vagrants can live, so far I haven’t seen any change in my neighborhood. I guess laws only apply to those of us who pay taxes.
