What an amazing birthday party Alexi had. We started off making lei necklaces (made from real flowers) and grass skirts. After the art/crafts time we had lunch followed by beach time. The original plan was to do surfing lessons, but do to the very rough waves we had to stick to boogie boarding. The kids didn't seem to mind a bit! Some were brave enough for the ocean waves and others just played in the sand. After the beach, we had pool time while we waited for some yummy, to good looking to eat birthday cake! Of course we ended the party with a pinata.
So Lexi asked to start surf lessons. Between her new love of the ocean and her will to accomplish anything, I figured it couldn't go all that bad. Of course, she was amazing, standing up half way through the first lesson. The self confidence in this little girl is so amazing! I love that she feels like she can accomplish anything. Something tells me we will have many more surf lessons in the future.
