Mateus played so good in his soccer game.  He was running after the ball and even doing some tricks.  His footwork was amazing.  I was the only adult standing on the sideline screaming “Go Mateus!!!”  Haha.  I hope I’m not embarrassing him.

Straight from the soccer game, it was time for chores.  Making kids do hard work is important.  That’s how we grew up so that’s how Mateus is growing up.  When it’s time to help your Uncles, put your soccer ball away and help your Uncles.

Then when the yard is cleaned, you can go play again.  When we were this age, we did the same thing in this same pond my Grandpa built.  That was 50 years ago.  Catching fish, swimming in the stream, and just being a kid.

Free Range.

Good morning 4am.
North shore 8-10′ and bumpy.
Ala Moana waist high and clean.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
North/East winds at 25mph.
Sunny and cool.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

Another chilly North wind morning.  You can hear everyone complaining about how cold it is.  We are all protected by Dove Wetsuits so it’s pretty warm for us.

This girl has become a hunter.  Now she knows how to catch waves by capitalizing on other surfers mistakes.  If someone misses or falls on a wave, she will catch it.

A long boarders dream wave.

And short boarders dream wave if you have the right board.

The girls are ripping.  Now I can’t drop in on them because they will run me over.

So they just drop in on me.  Haha.  But the view from riding behind is pretty amazing.  To think both these girls couldn’t even surf or swim when I met them.  Now they can do cutbacks and spear fish.  Cool!

What happened to the sand at Diamond Head???  Just 4 days ago this beach was filled with sand.  Now it’s all gone!

I sat in the cold to watch Mateus play in his soccer game.  I just watch and laugh.  These kids are so cute!

Then we went to do some intensive yard work.  I’m tired of paying people to clean the yard.  If they do a good job, it’s ok.  But when they don’t, you end up doing it yourself anyway.  So the yardman is fired and we are the new team.  Thank you Mateus for helping us out today.
