On September 6th Darren's family went to New Brighton Beach. It was a much better beach experience than when my parents were here, bummer for them, and we all had a great time. The water was FREEZING at first, but I got acclimated soon enough and had a blast boogy boarding with Darren and watching everyone else. I didn't want to even attempt it at first since I had never done it before and could picture myself tumbling head over heals in the water, but when Jenny got up and did it (she was 6 months pregnant at the time) I figured I could too! It was so fun. I did NOT love the sand that ended up throughout my bathing suit from washing up on the beach, but a quick rinse before we left and a shower that night fixed everything.
I wish I had some pictures, but we forgot our camera in the parking lot and were too lazy to walk back up and get it. Haha. Darren's mom has some so I'll have to steal some from her and add them in a while. It was nice to have one good beach experience before the summer ended :)
Next up: We moved!...into town
I'm so glad you conquered your fear and went boogie boarding! I LOVED boogie boarding when we lived in California. You have to try body surfing next. A little more adventurous because there's less buoyancy, but it's a blast! So glad life is so good for you right now!
