orange chicken, tofu and broccoli, onion pancake, beef chow fun...

oh, and rice too.

As I gazed at the food and cholesterol-laden table before me on our mama and Katie afternoon out I thought "people must think we're a bit excessive."

But, I told Katie she could choose -- and, leftover Chinese food doesn't go to waste in our house. (Incidentally, I ordered two additional dim sum dishes to go for Papa on top of all the leftovers we had).

Here she is looking at the menu pointing and proclaiming, "Whoa Mama, this one here weighs $20."
Then, we stopped to get some frozen yogurt which she picked over ice cream -- a bit to Mama's dismay.

Later we went home picked up the rest of the family and headed over to the beach.

We have had a very grey May and June, so perhaps this is why we have been so beach-crazy lately. The weather has been so great the past few weeks it's hard to pass up.

We didn't get to the beach until almost 4:30 and stayed until 6:00 and it was simply gorgeous out.
