I know it's October, but there are still those two summer events that I have yet to document. I really need to get them posted before I can move onto pumpkins and sweaters and boots. If you're completely over swimsuits and sunshine, I apologize upfront for this annoying reminder.
This summer BSD resurrected his surf camp. When the neighborhood kids were all younger, BSD took them out in pairs and taught them all to surf. This was the group in 2005. Just to give you a bit of perspective, the boy directly behind BSD holding the board is now a senior in high school. Boy, how time flies!

The boys above are now all very proficient surfers. So this year surf camp was just BB and her friend, S.
Surf camp always starts off early in the morning with a nutritious breakfast.
So that campers are strong enough to carry their own board.
They learn to survey the ocean to decide if it's safe to go out.
Some days the waves just don't cooperate.
And some days they do.
This year the girls were able to paddle into their own waves without help from BSD.
So now there can be more days like this.
Yes. Both BB and her friend, S earned their diplomas. They are officially "Surf Chicks" now. And to celebrate we ended the week with a sunset dinner on the beach.
The Big Ballerina may have earned her diploma. But we still have one more ballerina to go. Somehow I don't think it will be long now though.

I was stopping by b/c I saw this costume idea on a blog...and though of you guys right away. The blog is- http://befickle.blogspot.com/2010/11/happy-halloween.html
It's the picture with the dad in it! Too funny!
Have a great weekend!
How Awesome is that!!! Why don't I live closer? First I would want to learn to surf, and second I would want a picture of me just like the one of your youngest.
And third we could hang out.
These are amazing. I'm soooo jealous! How lucky are you to live somewhere like this! Congratulations surf chicks!
