Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started out with 11 but the flu and weather got the best of everyone.  So then there were only 6!

Double fisting

Thankful for this crew

It rained so hard Thanksgiving day but we woke up to this on Black Friday and went shopping!

The Cove

Jesse introduced Hailey to the Cove, and now she is obsess.  Maybe the high school surf team is in the future!

Later that week

 Duane and I took pictures and videos of them surfing

 On the walk back up, Hailey was talking about going tomorrow

A negative tide brought us to the beach 2 times in one day

The backwash was so fun to ride

Annual Pumpkin carving party. This year it was only kids who entered 

 Hailey's pumpkin won an award, it was a teenage mutan ninja turtle. Shane had fun as he used an electric drill to make holes in his pumpkin.  We weren't sure if his pumpkin had chickenpoxs or acne but he claimed it was modern art
