Garden Readies Veggies

The square foot garden

First tomato flowers

Bush beans are coming in.

All 12 spinach plants are showing their seeds. Apparently, spinach likes the cold otherwise it will bolt.

Carrots. Mike is very excited about these because he had to build an extension to give the carrots more dirt. Unfortunately, the carrots cast a large shadow on the rest of the garden and it makes planting in neighboring squares more difficult.

Oceanside Beach

adamsfamilyadventures.nospam@nospam.gmail.com (MADCookie) — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 01:45:00 -0600

We're off to a meet-up. We drove up to Oceanside to meet another Sonlight family that was visiting from Washington.

Stinky feet. This beach was really neat as it had a play ground right on the sand. Great idea!

Rebekah took over an already started hole. Mike helped her to create the surrounding towers.

Elijah was busy building wave breaks to protect a different castle not pictured.

Remember Rebekah's hole in the sand? She is in it now.

Joanna called the wet sand her kids

Here are some fun boogie boarding pictures of Rebekah

Elijah is not much into using the board. He just jumps with the wave to body surf it.

Joanna & Rachel, on the other hand, just jump over the waves

The reason for coming to the beach -- to meet Heidi & Darrell (not pictured)

Heidi had fun taking tons of pictures of the pelican

Beautiful sunset

Beautiful couple (if I don't say so for myself)

Gravity

What comes up must come down, right? Well, unfortunately that is true of cabinets when they are not installed correctly. Mike thought he had them in securely, but when he was installing the doors, the very last cabinet began to wobble and then fall off the wall.

That is a nickle size hole from the dry wall mounting screw that did not enage

After a great suggestion from Jason, Mike took down the cabinets and then installed a 1x2 cross beam over the studs.

The Ikea Effektiv cabinets were re-mounted, but this time they were mounted to the cross beams.

Doors on and stuff hidden away

There are rays under the water

Petable rays

The kids were pretending to be a clapper rail family

Beautiful clear day. You can see downtown San Diego

Very windy. Look at the ocean and Rebekah's jacket

Lots for flowers everywhere, so there was plenty of time for Rachel to smell the flowers

The kids of the Adams family

Colorado River at 2nd Ave

Our last stop for Saturday's activities was the Colorado River at 2nd Ave. Blythonians will know what that means. This was the hangout when Leslie was in high school, and Leslie showed Mike this place while they were dating. All the cattails were not there 12 years ago. It used to be a nice little beach right on the river...not so much anymore!

The Adams warriors!
