Back Up Next

-         In the morning Chris calls at 9 to see if we want to meet up with him at the beach – Golden Gardens Park. I have wanted to take the kids to the beach and so this sounds really nice to me. He mentioned going to the beach together last night when we picked up the RV from his shop. Steve looked at me incredulously since this guy is not into the warm fuzzies (direct transcript from journal: He seems not to be interested in making people happy…actually neither himself).

-         We drive off toward the beach and naturally end up wondering when Chris will be here. As he drives up in his big, mean looking red truck the kids jump up and are all excited to see Halle.

-         We pack up and go down the beach, it’s too cold to go swimming, but Chris obliges to make the kids into mermaids and such. He is very sweet with Halle and always willing to talk to them, especially Jonah…

-         They go to poke the anemones

I said, "First, I hit them over the head wit the shovel, then you bury them..."

Chris takes to burying the children before the head hitting part!
