Christmas 2009

As you can see our family has had an eventful year. We aren't able to post more at this time but when we can, there will be a complete 2009 history!...

Field Trip

Tyler took up skim boarding too. He got the hang of it really quick.

Then Mitch became the muscle man of the beach...

Flake Family Summer 2008

Mitch is learning how to Skim Board. You have a flat board that you drop at the sand when the waves come in and run and surf the sand. He's not great yet... as you can see, he biffed it a number of times. He's determined though. We'll track his progress through the summer.

This is a statue of Neptune on the beach. There is a really big stage by him that they have huge concerts on the beach every weekend on.

Alicia Bynum and I watching the kids and getting some "rays". Sorry John. If it makes you feel any better, we are all wearing SPF 70 sun block.

All of the kids playing in the waves. As one comes they jump and dive into them.

This is a picture of the beach that is two blocks from our appartment. Isn't it beautiful? the waves are small here and the beach is very quiet.

Tyler showing off his muscles... HOT!!
