Quite a nice family day...and not spending a dime!

September 29th, 2008 at 01:16 am

Today was an excellent no spend day.

Baseball boy and I took our new dog, Casey, to the baseball field and let her run around on the field. She loved it!

Then I worked at BB's baseball school for a few hours filling in. BB went to the gym.

In the afternoon I came home and napped.

Afterward BB and I took Casey to the beach. It was Casey's first time at the beach. She loved it and was very amusing. At one point I looked up after wading out into the water to see 3 huge fins rising out of the water not far from Casey and I! After yelling to BB and grabbing the dog I processed that they were not sharks, they were dolphin! They were in pretty shallow water so everyone stood on the beach to give the dolphin their space and admire the show.

After we got home we relaxed..then I got bored and decided to test out the rollerblades I bought yesterday at the garage sale. It was amusing but I got the hang of it quickly. Overall a good $8.00 purchase. (until I end up in the hospital..less a matter of 'if', more a 'when'.) I hooked Casey to the leash and let her pull me around the neighborhood on the skates. She was good- but only because she was exhausted from the beach. She's normally a bit out of control on the leash...still learning her manners.

Baseball boy grilled himself some steaks and made me a few grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner.

Now Casey is sleeping on the couch with me. And I am debating an early turn in too.

    Wow. Sounds like a fun-filled day. That's cool about the dolphins. Hope you have shin-guards.

    Isn't that FUN? In our house, we call that rollerbeagling. I can have the beagle pull me, but the lab is WAY too strong! My neighbors all laugh at me though. DH wants to try it with the lab, but I wont let him. I couldn't believe how much the beagle loves it though.

    My dogs love the beach too. They are little terriers so I have to watch them to make sure they do not go to far out in the water chasing birds!
