Surf Camp

We got out to the base beach at 8:30 on Thursday morning for Brady's surf camp. It was so pretty when we got there. The sun was shining on the waves and there wasn't a lot of people there yet, so it was still pretty quiet. It was very nice.

Brady had a lot of fun at camp, but never did get up on the board. Surfing turned out to be harder than we thought I think. The ocean was a little rough too and the waves kept pulling the board out of his hands.

Nate and I hung out while Brady surfed and he caught some small waves on his boogie board. He was so excited that he didn't want to get off his board or get out of the water. He's getting more and more confident each time we come out to the beach too. He took off his life jacket and didn't wear it most of the day. Of course, that made me a little more nervous, but I'm glad that he' getting more comfortable with the water.

Nate began looking for shark teeth this trip too. A lot of people look for shark teeth, but we've never really gotten into yet before. But, a lady who had found some showed Nate what they looked like and that was all it took. Nate found several small teeth and then hit the jackpot with a huge one he found as he was running out of the water. It was so big that he said he thought it was a small black rock. Needless to say, when he picked it up, he was very excited. There were several people standing around that were looking for their own shark teeth and we oohing and awing at Nate's. He was grinning from ear to ear from the attention when he came over and showed me. You can see the tooth in the picture below.

At the end of the afternoon, before camp got over, they had a "Shake-N-Bake" contest. This is where all the kids ran out to the water, got soaking wet, from head to toe, and ran back onto the beach and rolled in the dry white sand. The kid who was covered the most got a prize. Brady didn't win, but I had to take picture's anyway. And of course, when he saw his brother doing it, Nate had to get covered in sand too.

We got home around 1 o'clock and just made it in the house before the storm that rolled in let loose with a down pour of rain. After spending the morning at the beach, we were already sleepy and relaxed from the sun and water, so hanging out on the couch and listening to the rain kinda was nice.

The boys and I are finally going to see Transformers 2 tomorrow. Its at the base theater now and we are going to be going with our friend Ann and her girls, Holly and Regan. I've heard nothing but good things about it, so I know we're going to have a great time.

I hope you all are having a great weekend! Goodbye for now and God Bless! :)
