Surfs Up!
This is the third year in a row the girls have done surf camp at 18th Street in Del Mar. They love it and look forward to it each summer now. This was the best year by far. The weather was PERFECT! Which if you have been following our weather here in San Diego was a miracle The girls skill level went way up this year. They were both standing up by the end of the week.
Sydney was even able to get her board out all by herself and paddle into the waves. Bella still needed help getting out but could paddle into the waves and would pop up so quick. Sometimes she would get up so quickly she would literally walk off her board.
Another bonus was having our friends (kids call them their cousins) in town from Dallas. This is also their third year in surf camp with us.
At the end of camp they gave out awards to all the kids. Sydney got the dolphin award for bravery. She was nervous at the beginning of camp but by the end she was taking her own board out and so comfortable in the water.
Bella got the Menehune award. Her instructor said a Menahune was a little person who played tricks on other surfers. She thought that was pretty great.
The girls can't wait to get out and surf again. Todd is thrilled and ready to go with them anytime.
Keep a look out for our Groms carving it up in Del Mar!

What fun. We are sooooooo jealous!!! Good job on the bravery award Syd! I think the Menehune award is perfect for Bella!
Katy-I am having a vision. A vision of you and Bella in the back playing backgammon and Todd in the front manning the HUGE steering wheel....what do you think??????
I have been thinking and thinking about you guys, asking Marc if he has talked to Todd, wondering all about the baby and being so esxcited to hear about everything. Today it FINALLY hits me to check your blog and ta-da! all the news I needed. :) So please accept our belated congratulations on the arrival of an adorable baby Davis (and yes, I do think he looks just like Syd) - so happy for you guys. Lots of xoxoxo. Jenn
