Crazy Crowded Long Day

61

We went out to Bowls early this morning with no expectations.  Thank goodness because this was the weakest swell of the year.  In fact, it was so weak that I only caught 3 waves in 2 hours.  As for the girls, they caught 15 waves each so it was epic for them.  Haha.

This was the outside lineup as every single guy was a local.  Add the rest of the crowd in and today must have had a hundred surfers from Bowls to Rockpiles.  It was crazy crowded!

The gold medal NBA game was one of the best basketball games I’ve ever seen. France almost had a chance but USA was too strong in the end.  With superstar athletes like this, we’re not supposed to lose.

Another gold medal for the USA!

Then went for a special kids birthday party.

Happy 11th Birthday Mateus.  We all love you very much.  Wishing you another wonderful year ahead.

My other Grand nephews and nieces were loving Dave and Busters.  It’s any kids dream there.

As the kind hearted kid he is, Mateus let his younger brother blow out the candles of his birthday cake.

Then went straight to Diamond Head for Round 2.  The waves were good and not too many people for a weekend.  Compared to Bowls this morning, this was empty.

Sitting under the tree for shade, a bird pooped on my head again.  Wiped it off with my towel and thought how lucky I’ve been with bird poop recently.

It was a long day but very rewarding.  Lots of smiles all day long…
