who needs a beach to surf?

the kids have been busy practicing their surfing skills.  i guess they are getting beach-ready in the privacy and safety of their own backyard.  not only is a beach not necessary, but it appears that not even a pool is needed.  when it rains (which is often, now that we're in the "rainy season" here), parts of our backyard get totally flooded.  today the kids were outside playing in the water and they invented a new way of surfing.  it was very funny to watch them tow each other around.  i guess flooded yards do have their good points.

It definitley looks like you're getting the use out of everyone's swimsuits in Fl! I love the way your kids play together and get along so well. You are a great mom!

And, I LOVE the new picture. Yes, I can see that being you!

Your kids are so creative and fun. And brave to be playing in the floodwater with all those alligators lurking about!

I just hope there weren't more snakes in those puddles. Yikes! Your braves girls!

i was nervous about snakes, too, but i decided i can't live being paranoid all the time, right?

That looks like so much fun. It's the best to play in puddles when it's warm out.

That looks like so much fun - I cannot believe how much water is in your yard! I guess when they say "rainy season" they really mean it. The picture collage looks so pretty, with all the blues from the pool and the greens from the grass. I love the one of Gretchen pulling Gwyneth. Also the one of Liesel laughing while she pulls Madeline.
