Did you guys see this story today?  I cannot imagine treading water with my daughter for 12 hours, not to mention the thought of sharks. Amazing that they survived.  Not so sure I would have ...

Perz is hugging the ground beneath her feet - lol. You know that phrase they used to promote Jaws2 - "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water?" Well, I've never felt safe in the water - ever!!.

SOMEBODY apparently never

Caroline could probably tread water all day long, Daddy, maybe an hour or two. :-) Can you say, shark-bait? At the beach a few weeks ago, she was curious about the ocean this year and wanted to go out. I let one big wave take her out and that solved that problem.

I wanted to take Wyatt out

I wanted to take Wyatt out on the boogie board this summer, but he seemed very happy in the pool and very happy to just get in the waves at the beach up to about his waist. He still loves to let the waves tease him and he will try to run away without getting wet. So maybe next year for the boogie board.

I took a look at the Surfer's Healing website and the wait list was ridiculously long.

You guys need to help me think of a name for kayaking that doesn't too closely resemble either Surfer's Healing or Heart of Sailing. So it can't be Kayaker's Healing or Heart of Kayaking.
