kayak at the beach

Charlie is in control.

Scott and Cooper

Bobby only flipped Ava and Charlie out of the kayak

Charlie had to wear Sophie's pink life vest, thank goodness

Ava and her pretty shell

Today we met Bobby's cousin and family out at the beach. They had their kayak with them and that sure was crazy fun. The waves were very choppy and so heading out was a little exciting. Charlie was the first to be thrown out of the kayak. Bobby scooped him right away and he was ready for more. The next one out of the kayak was Ava. When she flew out the kayak flipped over and landed on top of her. She said she couldn't breathe but it was so fun??!! I didn't know that was considered fun. That is soooo Ava. Bobbi and Troy went out together and did very well. Cooper and Scott rode together with Bobby. They came in at an angle. Almost turned over but between all of them they got it right side up pretty quickly. With that big wave, Bobby lost his sunglasses :( Someone walking on the shore tonight is going to find a nice pair of sunglasses. Good for them! Ended being a decent day. No rain, little overcast. Anything is fun with cousins.

IF by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same; If you bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will which says to them; "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, If either foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, and which is more, you'll be a man, my son!

My Dad

our last christmas, little did we know!! we miss you-you are always in our thoughts. We sold his house, it was as if we had to say goodbye again. Nothing but fond memories. Movie night, hide and go seek, fishing, the beach, pool table, weight room, ice cream, bagels, peach diet iced tea, laughing...simply you. Miss you more than you will ever know. It feels as if it was just yesterday, thank God you are "free". "With your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye, go in peace and laugh on Glory's side. And fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and LIVE....." .
