I haven't done anything official to celebrate my birthday yet, but I did seem to have a fun filled weekend despite a total lack of planning. Friday for a completely unrelated event, the new knitting group I've been trying out decided to go cider tasting after knitting. It was a cute little place called Rabbit's Foot Meadery. They had very very tasty ciders, and really inexpensive tastings. So it is a perfect excuse to try all the things. Below is a picture of the 3 of the ciders we tasted.
My friend Jamie had a lovely wedding on saturday. I'm sure there are a lot more pictures taken there than just this one. Their wedding arch had this adorable jellyfish hanging from it, so Steven and I took a selfie under it while they were off taking a million combinations of pictures.
Today I wanted to go fly a kite and throw my boomerang at the beach. I have a butterfly kite I got a few years ago, and hadn't gotten around to using. We got the boomerang on our honeymoon trip to Australia almost 3 years ago.
We invited some friends along and they brought an awesome adult sized beach toy set. Full size bucket, full size shovel, and a homemade sieve. In front is the very small looking child size toy set.
There are no pictures of the boomerang. Throwing boomerangs is not ever going to be one of my skills. I file it with paddleboarding. Very cool and easy looking when other people do it....
It took a while for the wind to pick up enough to fly the kites. Steven has a pirate ship kite. It reminds me of Peter Pan. Having nice kites is great and all, but they take so much more wind. The 2 dollar Hello Kitty kite I brought to share had absolutely no trouble getting up in the air. It was more of a let go and hold on to the string. But, if there is enough wind, you can't beat a flying pirate ship.
My kite is a colorful butterfly, complete with ridiculously long streamers that like to land in the wet sand. Once it gets going it is pretty. I'm going to try it again on a much windier day, and try to get it to go higher.
I've heard a lot of people talk about the yarn store in Half Moon Bay called fengari. So obviously I needed to go check it out. I got two balls of yarn that will become hats at sometime in the future. The store seemed to have every size and color of Malabrigo yarn. They also had a lot of crazy weird yarns that I would have no idea what to do with.
