Beach Day # 1

Since Anna won't be here for the real Beach Day on Sunday, we decided to go another day instead.

We started our new book: Reflections on the Psalms by C.S. Lewis. Hopefully it won't take us ten years to finish like the last book.

We played some speed scrabble...I accidentally cheated. Apparently "viv" isn't a word....guess I was thinking of vim.

We missed the sunset because the sun set behind the hill...it looked like a good one too.

Shopping...

...in your sisters' closets is the best.

Can't beat the price...especially when they like name brands.

One of my favorite things about America

Another CA Requirement

We won.

Gotta love the stalker lens.

While I could do without the self-congratulatory note, this is one bit of Austrian (European) culture I'm glad to see here in America.
