A week on the Beach with Teens.

Dear Parents,

This week we are at the beach with our teenagers.  Both of them surf.  I have always been one of those parents who likes to do stuff with the kids.  Now, I won't get on a surfboard, but I won't miss a great day at the beach either.  So I went to the local grocery store and invested about $15 in raft.  It's covered in cloth, not plastic, so you won't slide off so easily.

Now I have this really unique raft/body surfing technique. It's quite effective and very fun.  I stand out in the same area where the surfers go, and I wait for the really good waves, just like the surfers do.  Now the trick is you have to time it just perfectly.  When the wave is just about to break, you jump in front of it, hanging onto the raft for dear life.   The raft goes flying high up on the wave and then crashes down in front of it, and you go for the ride of your life.  Very fast, very fun. 

Now people on the beach point and laugh at me, and inevitably, more rafts pop up on the beach over the next few days.

To Your Family,
