Dave went out of town on business last week and sometimes I let Hannity sleep with me to keep me company. One morning she woke me up really early but I had to snap this picture and send it to Dave so he knew what he was missing while he was gone. 

Avila Beach

A couple of weekends ago we went to Avila Beach to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. We met up with our friends Jon & Jen from Bakersfield and had a lot of fun riding our bikes, eating good food and enjoying the nice weather.

One night we went to dinner at a restaurant that was hosting a wedding reception. The DJ announced the "money dance" and Dave and Jon were so excited that they jumped up and got a picture of Dave dancing with the bride! 

Concert in the park

Manhattan Beach has a concert series that runs through the summer on Sunday nights. We have really enjoyed meeting up with friends, bringing some dinner and a bottle of wine and enjoying the beautiful Socal weather. Last night we rode our bikes to Polliwog Park and met up with our friends Tim & Sheri, the Andersons and the Svendsens. We listened to some great reggae music, ate some good food and chased around their two precious little girls.

By the end of the night Tim and Dave were very tired!

Reason #300 that we love living in Redondo Beach: 

There is always something fun (and usually free!) that we can go to with friends!

The Crawfish Festival

This past Saturday we joined the Blankenships at the annual Long Beach Crawfish Festival! Angela is from Louisiana, so she found out when and where this festival was and we have been hearing about this awesome delicacy for months now. Once there we were given a heaping plate of crawfish which we had to peel and eat. Here is Dave showing off the little creatures.

Adam was a good sport and helped show us the proper way to eat them.
Angela did the work for me and I ate one, but let's just say that I really enjoyed my jambalaya! Here is the finished product...
We love doing new things, so thanks Adam and Angela for showing us the wonderful world of Louisiana cooking!
