Shillig 4 Family

 We walked on the long pier near the AIDS Memorial.  I knew very little about AIDS til I recently watched a documentary on Netflix about how hard it hit San Francisco and it broke my heart.  I cannot imagine losing almost everyone around you like most of those men did in those days.  I know it's controversial to talk about usually because of the nature of the disease but it was still sad for me to learn more about it.  We had the kids in bed already when my Mom said it was too early for bed and we hopped up, threw on suits, and headed to let the kids swim.  Brody is a kid at heart, love that boy.  Mali Su always has to be first, if not, she gets a little pouty.   Brody loves to torture and pick on the boys, here they "fought."  We left the pier and got in the water.  This beach was way choppier than normal so we had the kids stay close.  Solomon sometimes puts his hands on hi...

 We got to the counter to check-in and found out you have to be 6 NOT 5 (as I was told on the phone by two different people).  Needless to say we were all broken hearted and hugged and cried.  Mali Su was so sad.  We went and got ice cream and then got on the boat.  When the boat guys found out our story they told her she could drive the boat!  Aimi Lark's lack of expression as we take off is hilarious.  I found myself a little scared this time.  It was extra windy and the uneven weight seemed off to me.  I knew we were safe, but still.  They only dipped us a little bit in the water and after Aimi Lark saw them DUNK everyone else completely she said that's what she wanted next time.  I told Mali Su she could video us since she couldn't go up.  You are so HIGH!  I love para-sailing!  Next up Brody and Delaney took off. They got completely dunked and loved it! ...
