Perma-grin



Surfing in Santa Cruz.  Never thought I'd want to because of the cold cold water (55 degrees!), but wetsuits, booties and gloves are a grand invention.  I had a SUPER day.  Tons of fun.  Tons of rides for this happy girl.  I couldn't stop smiling.  And I wasn't even cold--not once in almost 2 hours of water time!  Wahoo!  
Thanks for keeping my kids alive Joneses.  They too had a fabulously sand gritty day.  
Oshyn (another "perma-grin" member of our family) even got to paddle out with Beau.  He stood up twice and probably only swallowed 2 gallons of water.  
Life is good.

The beach is majical. I'm so so so glad you surfed even though it was freezing. Was there a crowd? ha ha.

How freaking sweet! I want some rides. Probably not going to happen out here in the midwest though. Sounds like you are living the endless summer.

i have a nikon d40x, but i just bought a new camera today, cause i want to feel really dumb and learn a whole new camera! i really love that camera though, it's so much nicer than little point and shoots, you might be able to find one for a pretty good price on craigslist, it's worth it!
