We were invited to go to Ocean Beach for a bonfire near the the waves last nigh with Jon, Michelle, and some of their friends from the Tri-Valley ward, but things didn’t turn out exactly as planned.  It’s a good thing that’s not always a bad thing…  🙂

When we arrived about 8pm, we realized that the beach was pretty crowded already.  Jim, Jon, and Michelle scouted south while Niki Theobald (whose family is in our ward) and Troy and Aaron wandered around nearby, hoping to find a group that was packing up to head home soon.  I stayed up at the parking lot with Matt Nielsen (whose family is in the fourth ward), to keep an eye on our gear.  All the scouts returned with the same news: there was no room on the beach for us.

Luckily, Troy’s parents (who live in San Ramon) have a fire pit in their backyard and it was agreed that we would re-convene out there for our delayed bonfire.  It was nearly 10pm by the time we got there, but we ate delicious s’mores, and had a wonderful time talking and poking the fire until after midnight!  I’m so glad we were able to go!
