"30" is Beau's year for LOBSTER!

Beau celebrated the big 30 officially YESTERDAY. Nice to have my husband join me in the same decade.

We were joined for the festivities by his sister, Caspian and her dog Nyla who came to visit this week from Missoula, MT. We have had a nice visit and Hazel has thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her Aunt "Cassie-man". They spent all day Thursday together while Beau and I worked...I definitely think they had a lot more fun than Beau and I!

Here are some pictures from last night - birthday dessert at Sweet Life. Life sure is SWEET there!

Acting every bit his age...

Two happy boys and their sweets.

Today, we headed for the coast (took the day off work) and spent the day enjoying the Pacific and a scrumptious lunch! Beau's birthday wish for the big 3-0 was a meal of LOBSTER. We found it! Yummo. What a fun FAMILY day we had. The two dogs enjoyed the fresh air (STRONG WIND) and Nyla especially loved her first dip in the Ocean. She tore off after some birds in the surf and you should have seen Caspian run to her rescue. (She didn't end up needing the rescue, but Caspian was there if need be.)

Caspian and Nyla head out to enjoy the surf and FRESH air.

Hazel loved walking through the "WATER".

Just before Nyla is set FREE. This dog can RUN!

Go Nyla Go!

Proud of her find.

A ride with Mommy

Is that baby brother in there??

Nyla, wet but content!

Nyla and her mommy

This stump is usually WELL above the sand...crazy how the beach changes.

Dreaming of her pockets full of rocks and shells...

Our stuffed mushroom appetizers - wow!

Hazel and her side of yams. It may take a few baths to get them completely out of her nose.

Beau and his LOBSTER!

Caspian ordered this fish just for the HALIBUT

Our waitress shouldn't give up her day job for photography...she was a great waitress.

When we got back from the coast we swung by Jasper to pick up the boys and give Caspian a tour of our place of work.

Hazel gets a ride from her Auntie.

Freddy the llama

Nice horsey

Know a good llama dentist?

Bye bye horsies
