Surf's Up

Mark decided that a family living on the beach in Hawaii must have a surf board. He got a neat beginner board for the kids last week and we finally deemed the kids well enough after their colds to have a go today.  Kiffer decided he'd had enough after his first fall, but Emily was up and off on her first few turns.  She was great and we had a lot of fun watching her.  I had to giggle at Mark's teaching technique with Emily standing up on the board grasping his head for support.  I gave him a few pointers from the absolutely nothing I know, and surprisingly we made progress.
