After the surfing lesson last week, the boys decided to tone it down a bit with a little skimboarding. You know? Some harmless fun, right? Well, let’s see how that went.

Here is Kyle explaining the basics of skimboarding; the running, the dropping of the board, the jumping on the board and the skimming of the water. Chris thinks he’s got it, so off he goes.

NOT BAD, Dude! **see, I’m getting the surfer lingo down** First time out, I thought he did pretty well. But Kyle still saw room for improvement, so he demonstrated for him.

WOW! Dude caught some air on that one!! **That’s right! More surfer lingo** Awesome!!

So Chris tries again.

Wipeout!!! His mommy cringed a little on that one. It looked like he broke his back to me. But I was trying to be “cool surfer mom” so I didn’t go running down there to kiss his boo boos. I waited patiently until he bounced upright. My boy sure is tough. If that had happened to me. . . I’d be in traction somewhere with white walls and Jello.

I’ll stick to taking pictures. . . . and soaking up the sun!
