A day at the beach

On Thursday, my BFF Beth and I went surfing down at Blackies...

ok, I'll be quite honest. I am not a very good "surfer," I just think its fun to go out and just be one with nature. I think I caught maybe 3 waves in a 2 hour span. My High School surf coach would definitely be yelling at me for being so lazy. But hey, I still fit into my wetsuit from Sophmore year.

Kaelin LOVES the water. She definitely prefers the ocean over ANY pool. She runs right in, no matter what the temp and no matter how big the waves are. That's my girl!

Kaelin's first set.

The paddle out.

She's up!!

Takin' it all the way in.

With some help from mom. (ok, see how I'm in a 4/3 wetsuit and she is in a teensy bathing suit, now that is a surfer!)
Nice stance!

The end of our first sesh.
ok, surfing aside...Kaelin got her first bloody boo-boo. Normally she bonks and gets a bruise, but this time we had a bleeder. She fell off the rocking chair at my parents house while playing the drums for Rock Band.
Even though the weather was a bit gloomy, Kaelin had a great time and we can't wait for her to paddle out again...
