Skimboard City







The boys got skim boards from their pirate friend for Christmas last year and were anxious to try them out this summer. For those of you who don't know, skim boards are wooden boards you throw along the waters edge, run and jump and glide along the sand. The boys have spent HOURS practicing and learning and watching the big kids do this to learn tips.

They found another friend on the beach too, Drew is 6 like them and they were proud to tell me that he was their new best friend because they all had so much in common:
they are six, just finished kindergarten, all had wiggly teeth, all played t-ball and best of all, and most important, THEY COULD ALL ARMPIT FART BEETHOVEN!! Wow!! What an amazing bond!

Little do they know that Drew's dad and I grew up together in Grand Haven too, those summer friendships last many generations in the hills of Highland Park.
