Dogtown and Z-Girls
It doesn't get more SoCal than this. Melanie's even wearing her Social Distortion tshirt!
Dog Beach
Not an auspiscious beginning.
Our day's activity: throwing the soccer ball (now firmly a dog toy) into the water.
Archie would dash into the waves to retrieve the ball, while Molly waited on shore...

Eventually it got hot, and Molly dug in to rest on the cooler sand below the surface.
... but not before "posing" for this "wistfully looking out to sea" portrait.
Pandemic context: You'll note that Jenna is wearing a mask, and there are unused cruise ships parked just off-shore.

Fourth of July
Cul-de-sac "beer garden" (socially distant, and masked) after a 10K, or 2 mile fun run. As is traditional.
No fireworks this year, but Auntie Ann provided "poppers".

Father's Day
A physically-distanced Father's Day picnic in the backyard.
Earlier that day, in the backyard...
