Becca and Nick are looking for the perfect wave to ride in.
Nick finishes up a good ride!
Grammy tries to stay in the shade as much as possible!
Becca is having a great ride. Look at her face!
Surfer Rod.
All summer long we have anticipated our annual treck to the beach. We left Friday night as soon as Rod got home from work. Becca and Nick had all their chores done and their bags packed. We loaded up the beach umbrellas, our suit cases, beach towels, sun screen, cooler, and a big blanket. It is about a 6 hour drive. We stayed in Buena Park, which is right by Knott's Berry Farm. We did not like our accommodations very well. Needless to say, we will not be staying at the Red Roof Inn located in Buena Park again. However, our afternoon at the beach was lots of fun. The kids tackeled the waves immediately and enjoyed the water with the boogie boards we got them last year. We only stayed a couple of hours this trip. It was extremely windy and that made it just a little bit miserable. Becca got tumbled by a couple of big waves (it must have been the moon!) and was ready to go first. Nick stayed in and just challenged wave after wave. We all had a really good time. We drove home Saturday night so as not to miss church on Sunday. When we got home, it was really good to get in the shower and wash off the salty, stickey residue that is part of the beach experience. I love sitting on the shore and just watching the waves. It is therapudic and renewing to the soul. We hope to return to the coast in October when we have our fall break.
