On Saturday, Husby, B and I got up to watch Husby coach Youth Bowling, and then we headed up north to do an errand. Since the weather was absolutely gorgeous and we were already beachside, we decided to grab lunch at a small eatery on the water and enjoy the weather some more. We went to Grills Waterside and had a nice tropical family lunch.
After lunch and the drive back, B crashed for his afternoon nap, so we took the time to get some stuff around the house done. When he woke up, it was time to get out in the fresh air. We went a few blocks down the road from our place to the park and went for a Nature Walk as a family.

Since the Gator game was not on until 8, and we still had some daylight, we decided to go to the playground down the road and let B burn off some of his energy. Husby rarely goes to the park with B (it's a Mommy thing B and I do during the days when I am home), I figured it would be a fun experience for him to see B interact at the park.

After the park, we headed for home so B could get in dinner and then we could settle in to watch the game. B made it through the 1st quarter and then he crashed for the night. He enjoyed what little of the game he watched (I think Husby & I should have followed B's lead and stopped watching after 1st quarter...but we sat through the agonizing defeat).
On Sunday, we did a quick family photo at a local portrait studio and then quick grocery trip. After the morning errands, we decided to again take advantage of the beautiful weather and went to the beach. Husby used to be an avid surfer in college and really has not found the time to go lately (in the last year-year and half), so it was his first time out in a LONG time. B and I hungout on the beach watching Husby paddle out and try to catch some waves. Then B decided to investigate the water's edge and play in the waves. After our beach visit, we grabbed a quick lunch and headed home to clean up (B passed out before we even got to lunch...hence the quick part) and then we had our routine bowling league night complete with our dinner routine at LD's.
Although some things did not go as planned, it was a great quiet weekend for some beautiful weather and family bonding. In 2 weeks we will be starting a new tradition of yearly family photo sessions at the Botanical Gardens of Husby & my alma mater. I'll be sure to post sneak peeks of what we'll be coordinating/wearing, a well as, the goodies once they are complete.
In the coming week I need to update the videos of B's "channel" and also start ironing out Christmas wishlists, as well as, discuss our holiday plans as these are my 2 stress points lately.
