In the Waves

Guillermo had a blast jumping in the waves during our trip to Florida. He even jumped on a boogie board and body surfed into shore a few times. Mostly, he jumped over waves and had a great time. The red warning flags went up a few days after we arrived as Hurricane Alex made its way toward land and that cut down our ocean fun a bit, but we still managed to play in the surf a bit and we took full advantage of the sunshine on our last day at the beach. When they weren't in the water, Guillermo and his cousins were busy building sand castles and towns, or splashing in the pool. And, when they weren't doing that, Guillermo was teaching Will the finer points of Pokemon or battling him at risk or watching the World Cup, playing with his cousins, or, of course, playing his DS. Oh, another fun game they invented with my parents was kick the cap in which Guillermo and Lily kicked a water bottle cap back and forth to each other as they walked down the board walk. Apparently Maya was tired of being ignored from the game at one point so she picked up the cap and dropped onto the beach. That will show them!
