a perfect Saturday

I really need to take more photos. A photoless blog is probably uninteresting to read. What a spectacular weekend. We spent saturday out at "pirate ship park" It was so beautiful down there at mission bay. The stunning reflection of the piercing blue sky in the placid ocean bay+ the smell of the thick salty air mixed with permeating sunshine gave me a rush of pleasure and satisfaction that corsed through my veins. My soul needs good weather....my soul needs sunshine....my soul needs to see the ocean. It opens my perspective and gives me unbridled joy. Something I much needed that day...for no other reason than I simply just woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

I took Violet in the jogging stroller for a run/walk. After straining for a few minutes to keep her head up, she finally gave up and was sawing logs. Jack and Jim practiced baseball. Jack was working on his pitching and got a few good pitching "snaps" into Jim's glove. It gives me so much pleasure to see them out playing baseball together. Good father and son. Sweet Charly our "forgotten" middle child was left on her own to room the playground as she pleased. She is starting to take risks and was doing things she hadn't done like climbing up and down the caterpillar and going to the top of the dome. We didn't really forget about her....she was just content to be exploring.

After spending 2 1/2 hours there, we came home. Sebastian came over to play with Jack and Charly and Violet slept while Jim and I made a dent on the garage. We then got a babysitter and went out for a couple of hours. We went to Sea Port Village, one of our favorite date spots. We love to just walk in the shops and look at all the fun trinkets they sell. Then we stopped at a restaurant that overlooked the water and had a lovely brownie with ice cream. We had such and nice time....I love going on dates with my husband.

This Saturday had all the components of a Saturday that I love. Being out doors and exercising with family/ working to complete a project/ and a date with my man. I am happy :)
