Fun with Dad - Part 4

Today is the day Alex has been waiting for since school ended. The release day for Madden 2006. Alex has become a huge NFL football fan. He follows his beloved Jacksonville Jaguars daily on the Jags web site as well as soaking up as much NFL network as his Mom and I can handle. Having pre ordered his copy with his Visabuxx card last week, he get the much anticipated e-mail from Best Buy this morning letting him know his copy was ready for pick up. Off we went as soon as the store was open. We came home and that's the last I saw of Alex until dinner!

Since Alex was sucked into Madden land, Catie and I decided to do a bit of Geocaching at Ventura harbor. We started with lunch at our favorite sea food shack Andrea's. The weather was overcast and cool with temps around 70. Luckily, buy the time we finished lunch the Marine layer had burned off and it turned out to be a pretty nice day. We found two Ventura Caches and then ended up playing at the beach for the rest of the afternoon. The highlight was digging an enormous hole in the sand, so big when Catie stood in it, you could only see the top of her head! Her comment to me on the way home was "I never knew you could have soo much fun digging a hole!" We had a great time.
