SURFING LESSONS

At our ward auction several weeks ago we, along with another couple in our ward, Lyndle and Marcia Baum, won surfing lessons from the Hawkleys (He is freshman dental student). Saturday was the big day!


Been here only 5min and Jackson is already messy!



Here is Pehrson demonstrating how to paddle your board out into the surf.


Here is Jackson and showing Liam how it's done.


Here I am trying to practice doing "the monkey"- trying to get from lying on your stomach on the board, to standing sideways.



Thanks for some interference by Pehrson.

Jackson wants to go too!







We don't have any pictures of us riding the waves. Steven did awesome and got up over and over, I got progressively less successful, but we had a great time. The sun was out, the water was refreshing, and the work was tiring. It made for a great afternoon!



Jackson loves chasing the birds.





"I love this sand-flavored licorice".


Saying good-bye to the beach!

Sounds like fun! How much more school does Steve have?

It looks like you guys have a blast! It is cold and miserable here already! I love that Jackson scrunches his nose, Trevin does the same thing. Can't wait for them to play, they seem like they will get along great!
