Coco Beach

Now that the boat has dropped us off on land again, we drove to the nearest beach to get our toes in the water.

Cade is still entertaining himself with his sword from the Pirate night on the boat.

After dipping more of just our toes in the water and getting completely soaked, the kids wanted to go get their swimsuits out of the car. 

They wanted to try real surfing in an ocean, and being in the spontaneous vacation mode that we were in, we drove to where we could rent some surfboards, and found Ron Jon's,  the Holy Grail of surf shops.  Open 24 hours! (Do they really get people shopping for surfing gear at 4am?)



This store is so cool!

After suiting up and getting a quick how-to lesson, they were ready to hit the waves.

It takes lots of patience and energy, because you get knocked down over and over and over.  They worked so hard at it and didn't give up.

Look how huge the board was! 

Avery was hard at work making the biggest sand castle ever.

It's a mansion with a slide and two pools

We love Coco Beach.

I love it when kids play this hard. :)
