Summer-time!

Fast & Furious...that's how I would describe summer around here . . .

My apologies to my Aussie family members for my lack of posting. Here's a *BONUS* post...as I try to share Porter's surf video with grandpa! (below)


Happy 9th Birthday to Porter! Celebrated at g'pa & g'ma's first...where he opened the coveted Wii
And then at Wild Rivers with buddies from school. (Sorry for the dorky picture, Riley...you guys were moving too fast & this was the best I could do!)


Porter got some private surf lessons from Clare (the most awesome-est surf instructor EVER!) at Doheney. The waves were much larger than usual...but Porter caught wave after wave & had a BLAST!
Taking a break, before heading back out


And here's the aforementioned video for grandpa...sorry so tiny.
Of the three black dots you see at the beginning, Porter's the one to the left, who stands right up & rides it in! (And I have NO idea why it's black & white...)

Way to go Porter! Were the surf lessons a b-day present too? My kids want to move back home and when we told them that would mean no pool, Megan looked at me and said, "that's okay mom, we have the BEACH!" My poor desert beach kids! They are so jealous of you beach access!

Awesome surfing Porter! Very cool birthday celebrations :)

Glad you finally posted... Now unpack and get your laundry done and show off your adventures down under! We had SOOOOO much fun with you... wish it didn't have to come to an end so soon.
