The Year of the Boogie Board

All three girls fell in love with boogie boards this year.  To my surprise, Adeline was okay being pushed around by the waves, and at times, being thrown from the board.  As long as she kept her head above water, she was okay.  Lila, who I didn't ever catch on camera, walks out like a big girl and, with my help, hops on the board and rides the waves by herself.  The last couple days she was more tentative and has played lifeguard to all the young ones.  For some reason she thinks everyone is going to drown.  Savannah is completely independent and worries me much less than I expected.  She enjoys the BIG waves.  It is a good thing that she has a wave riding partner because waves are always more fun when enjoyed by two.

Here are clips of Savannah and Adeline enjoying some time on the boards.  I never knew when Adeline and Lila were going to be aggressive and go deep.  My luck had it that I never had my camera on these days.
