It had been pretty warm in SF these past couple days so we all agreed to a bonfire on Saturday night. Dayantha and Krissy were coming for the weekend so we called up the Masayas and they came along too.  We all met up with the Sokol-Juns and Darbys at Ocean Beach to find some crazy wind, crazy waves, and a lot of sand…everywhere.  The Bangs didn’t make it since their little guy wasn’t cooperating and they were probably better off not braving the elements with him.

At the waterline, there was a collection of foam on the beach and the wind was so strong that it blew the foam into the air and across the sand.  We had a spectacular sunset and plenty of light to get the fire started and the hamburgers cooked.

Unfortunately the wind was blowing sand onto everything and I ended up with sand in my beer, sand in my burger, and sand in all of our stuff.  Just take a look at Michelle’s expression as she crunches on her sandy burger.  We’ve been home for 24 hours and I’m still finding sand in my stuff.  When I took a shower, I had sand in my ears.

Despite all that, we had a fun time.  Jack did a good job entertaining himself and I got a few shots of him being cute as ever.  Victor also taught him how to body-check Jes but Jack just ended up headbutting him in the leg.

I think he hurt himself more than anyone else.

Dog came along too and he got to dig in the sand and he barked at everything that walked by.  At one point a strange man walked toward us from the darkness while Koa barked at him.  Meanwhile, he said to us “Dimitri is gonna kill us all!”  So, we kept Koa on the lookout for Dimitri the rest of the night.

Here are the rest of the photos from that evening.
