I haven't fallen into a volcano, I'm just patiently (or not) waiting for some photos to become available so I can show you our AWESOME surf day!
The girls had last Friday off (already) so David took the day off and the three of them went for a surf lesson. The company was amazing and even had a photographer on hand with his handy telephoto lens to capture the madness.
They all did great, but none as well as my littlest mermaid! Emily had a "private" lesson which translates into being on the board with a cute hawaiian who literally pulled her up with him. You should have heard her - or better yet seen her. She was riding the waves within minutes and spent her time waving to all the other schmucks doing their best in the water around her. What a hoot.
The photographer got fantastic shots and for the low, low price of $40 they got to be mine...in 3-5 days. Grrrr, today is day 5 but that includes weekend days and to be honest 5 days in Hawaii can be anywhere from 7-15.
I didn't pay for a lesson but they gave me a turn too - I'd say I was about 75% vertical for about 4 seconds but that was enough to get some shots of me "shredding" the waves. Ok, not really. It's comical but we had an awesome family day.
Pictures soon - I hope!
The rest of our life is pretty standard; school, homework, soccer, but now we are adding hula, gymnastics and confirmation class. We were suffering from underachievement issues.
