Surfer Dude

This week finds us scrambling around in the mornings, trying our hardest to get out the door on schedule. Fortunately, this schedule does not have us waking at 6:30, like we do for school, but at 8.  But still at 8am you'll find me giving Shane gentle 'wake up' shakes and some 'I mean it' tickles.  Of course he always gets the sleeping in thing when we have to be out the door!  And Marin.....no waking that girl up.  She's still up bright and early, before anyone else in the house.

Reason for the schedule instead of a slow and lazy morning????  Monday, Shane started a week long surf camp at a local church.  They have small group time, time for singing and rockin' some worship and of course some time for hittin' the waves.  After an exhausting first day (including being roughed up by some waves) he is having a ball.  He's enjoying full days at the beach with old friends as well as making new ones.  And so far, he's had more and more success on the waves.  We'll see what the final verdict is on Friday!

Getting ready to hit the waves...

So happy to have his really great friend out there with him.....

I'm pretty sure they liked our cheering section!

Practicing his balance....

Heading out on a wave....

So.....he doesn't make that wave.  But he does catch one and of course I miss it!  :(  

Day two, as Shane heads back out to the beach, Marin and I headed out with friends to get our craft on.  We hit Art-A-Fair and Sawdust in Laguna Beach.  Lotsa fun, but also a bit bummed because I heard Shane was able to catch more waves today.  Happy to hear that it was a better day for him and just hope that it gets even better!

Loved all these mushrooms!
