For the final week of summer, the boys got to do what they love most, more video game time.  The neighborhood kids also played a final “kick the can” on the last Monday night.  Stuart took a couple of half days off to spend with us too.  We went to Dave and Buster one afternoon to play, have dinner and try to do any clothes shopping for the boys.  We all had a good load of game time in but the boys did not feel like shopping. 

     On the last Tuesday, we went down to the beach.  We tried the Seacliff beach; it was very peaceful there.  Connor and I spent majority of our time playing with sand while Logan finished the book that he was reading during the summer and Stuart took a nap.  After beachtime, we got some ice cream and then we went to check out the Santa Cruz boardwalk.  This place was so much nicer than what we remembered and it was quite crowded as it was a nice weather afternoon/evening.  We walked all around to check out all the rides, and not surprisingly the boys did not care to ride any.  Connor was set to go play at the casino arcade, but it turned out that the games were not as good as the ones in Dave and Buster.  Finally we found an Italian restaurant and had a great relaxing dinner.  It was nice that we continued our beach day tradition before the school starts, and it was only a short commute time away from home.
