Spring Break

Well, after a cold winter in SC complete with snow, the kids were itchin' to go surfing. Kayla, our oldest, went with the youth group to FL where the water was warmer. Noah and Mckenna, however, decided to brave the cold ocean. I felt sure Mckenna would be in for a few minutes (if she even got in) and then would declare it too cold. I could not have been more wrong! Noah was great and went out with her for about 30 min. spurts at a time.

I was reminded this break of the energy level Noah operates with. I pray that is Ayden Jane's basic energy level/metabolism and then if it is slowed a bit by PWS than she should end up close to normal! Let's see. Just to recap 2 days in Noah's break. We headed out in the morning to find some new cleats. It went quickly and then he, of course, needed to break them in. He called a friend and spent about 2 hours on the soccer field messing around... Afterwards there was some swimming involved and then off to a soccer game. He plays midfield and it was a very tough game so he seemingly never stopped moving. After the game he went out with some friends visiting from out of town and then spent the night at another friends house so that they could hit the surf bright and early. They were in the ocean by 7, at the weight room for soccer by 8 and then soccer training on the beach. Once that was completed he surfed until 3. You would think he would be about to keel over, but noooooo not Noah. He refueled and then pleaded to go back out to the ocean by 6:30. He did make it home at a reasonable hour... Tomorrow? Oh. Just another tough soccer game to start the day...need I say more. Oh how I hope Ayden Jane managed to receive some of his gene pool!!

I admit I LOVE the activity and have had a blast this Spring Break. I just wish it could last a few days longer.
