Friday Jen ran to Allison and Pets's rehearsal and then i joined them for the rehearsal dinner at Mijares. How the hell can you turn that down!? Hehhe. So we sat for hours drinking, eating great food, and meeting all their families. Saturday was the wedding up in La Canada. We got there a little early cause jen was in the wedding party. Everything went off without a hitch. We hung out for photos at the church, then off to brookside for the reception. More photos, and dinner, and dancing... and EVERY SONG EVERY WEDDING DJ IS REQUIRED TO PLAY. It was classic. The DJ and MC ran the full list of all the organized and choreographed dance numbers. From the chicken dance with Pete and Allison surrounded by EVERYBODY dancing, and then the YMCA extravaganza led by Allison. We were laughing our asses off most of the night.

Then sunday we headed to the beach for a little lobster dinner. It was Dick and Martha's wedding anniversary, and they invited EVERYBODY down to the beach. We hung out and relaxed on the beach for a couple hours and then had a great dinner (the lobsters only suffered a little).

The surf sunday was big. We had a good view of uppers, and the guys riding were in barrels that were a couple feet over their heads. We figured about 8 to 10 with big sets of maybe 12 coming every once in awhile.

When i went in swimming it was a real workout. You really had to plan your exit out of the water so that a set wasn't coming down on top of you when you were trying to walk out.

Bill and Brad played frisbee in the waves, which ended up being a contest of "i dare you". The throws were timed to put the catcher in the worst possible position, usually right under a crashing shore breaker.

and i only got slightly burned.
