Skim-boarding

Ammon and I were able to escape from the babies a couple times while we were at the beach. (a HUGE thanks to the family for that one!) One time we went and played in the ocean all by ourselves. We had bought a wave rider and a skim board and decided to give them a try. It was so much fun to play in the ocean with my sweetie. He helped me catch some good waves and then helped pull me back. What a guy. When I was exhausted from the waves, I just sat in the water and watched Ammon try to skimboard. If you know Ammon, you know that he's freaking awesome at everything he tries. Seriously, this man can do anything. Well, anything except sing. But anything else, he's got it. : ) He tried and tried and just was not getting it. In his defense, he had never seen anyone skimboard before. He wasn't exactly sure how it was supposed to work. His skin was being scraped off by the sand everytime he biffed it. Finally, this 4-year old came up (his name was Noah) with his skimboard and showed Ammon how to do it. It was so cute. This kid said that it was funny watching Ammon fall down all the time... Good stuff.



He finally got the hang of it!

You always manage to get great pictures. Just a question, but what kind of camera do you use? I really want to get an awesome camera eventually. But it looks like you had a great time. :) We're taking the kids to VA beach next weekend. Hopefully they love it as much as Noah and Griffin did. :)

hey beck! thanks for the compliment! i really enjoy taking pictures... i use the olympus e300. i've had it for about 3 1/2 years and i have loved it. here recently it's been kind of hit or miss but i think that's because i've been taking it off automatic mode and playing with the settings a little. i hope you have fun at the beach!!
