June 28, 2008. Happy 17th, Jelly!



Angelica's birthday happily coincided with a camp staff beach day. We piled into a bunch of cars last Saturday and headed to Oceanside.



Inveterate soccer players that they are, my sisters soon had almost everyone organized into a game replete with boogie-board goals.



My parents drove down to meet us. My mom had baked both a chocolate and a vanilla cake for the occasion, and the sand added a little bit of texture, but they were still delicious.



Afterward, we departed from the group and drove downtown to our mainstay, Filippi's in Little Italy, for the birthday dinner.



Angelica opened her presents in between courses.



I think we were all glad to see each other after our two-week separation.





Just to prove that we were all there. At Angelica's request, we got ice cream in Pacific Beach afterward.



Before we went home, we stopped at Ralph's for some sundries and had an exciting time on the outdoor escalator. Not a camera-shy one in the bunch, excepting the one taking the picture, of course.
