First, I need to explain Ana’s new look. Remember when I screwed up her haircut? Well, Brian kept asking me when I was going to take her to a professional. So I did.
So. I. Did…
Anywhoo…moving on.
I hope everyone had a great Father’s Day weekend, we certainly did! Here are just a handful of crappy pics to highlight our trip to the beach.
The first thing we did when we got there was to play the horse racing game, and it’s no surprise that I was in. the. zone. See here as my family watches me in amazement. (click here to learn how you too can be a winner)
I still don’t understand why they stood so far away from me. They totally missed out on hearing little Billy’s mom cheer him on:
“C’mon Billy! You can do it! Good job! Ugh! What was that?! Get out of your head, Billy. GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD! You’re getting beat by an adult! NOOOO, BILLLYYY!
Kiss it, Billy’s mom.
The next day we went Putt-Putting on a boardwalk rooftop. Let’s just say that Ana was a little “distracted” by all the fiberglass animals.
3…2…1…
It was all cute and funny until I we realized the gorilla wasn’t anchored to the ground. Even the attendant came running from her little “Putt Hut”.
About halfway through our game, Ana saw her first rainbow! She was so excited!
It was beautiful!
Then this happened…
Holy hell! A dark cloud literally descended upon us! I thought the world was ending, so I did what any rational person might do in such a dire situation…I let go of my kid’s hand and took off my earrings, because it was windy, and they’re my favorite earrings, and I wanted to have them in the afterlife.
Then next day (when the world didn’t end), we went to the beach.
*tomorrow, I’ll detail this beach day in my Tips for Tuesday.
Later that afternoon, we walked down to the pier and went fishing. Ugh.
For the record, I’m not a huge fan of fishing, mostly because I hate the idea of putting a hook through a live worm’s body, it just seems so cruel. Luckily, I remembered reading somewhere that the Germans use cheese for fish bait. So I grabbed some cheese, poured myself a glass of wine, and we headed down to the dock.
Here I am “fishing”…
…”fishing” for compliments on my new up-do – and wondering where my sunglasses are.
Brian didn’t stay long, he was annoyed that the bait kept falling off his hook. He mumbled something like “I doubt the Germans use deli sliced provolone” and left.
Sadly, the only thing we caught that day was my cell phone from falling in the water.
On Father’s day, we pretty much spent that morning cleaning up the beach house, driving 2 hours home, then watching the US Open while Ana bitched about Brian using “her” TV. When he told her to go upstairs to watch her shows, she replied, “Happy Mother’s Day, Baaaby” and stormed off.
At the beach house, before Ana turned on her father.
Happy Father’s Day, Brian!
