some California fun...

















"Z" mastering the skim board on our last day at the beach! Someone feed that boy!

This day at the beach "M" whose name means "of the sea" was initiated by a stingray! It gave her a nice little quarter inch cut on her ankle as it filled her with poison. I guess they don't like being *stepped* on! She insists it felt "squishy" not slimy. Unfortunately one week later she has developed an infection and if the medication doesn't improve things by tomorrow morning she will have to go to the hospital for an IV to fight off the infection.


















Two days after the stingray incident "M" is back at the beach! She had private surfing lessons from her dad and her uncle Scott. Both say she is a natural! Yep, that is my pretty little tom-boy! ahem....we won't discuss my attempt at surfing...if you have enough money, Mark has a video of the disaster.

we miss you too!!! I think M escaped a trip to the hospital... I wasn't home when the Dr. called and SHE told him the swelling was going down.....hmmm. It does look a bit better tonight but we will evaluate it again in the a.m.
