This year was a completely different experience because instead of basically living on the boat, I mostly stayed on the beach. Seth did pretty good for it being really hot and not a lot of relief. The biggest problem was trying to put him down for naps/bedtime because he is so used to being in quiet places that to have all those people around was different for him. He is also not a rock me to sleep baby so there was a lot of screaming and he would almost fall asleep and then be wakend by screaming children. We were lucky though and my brother let us stay in his trailer so there was the option of putting seth in some air conditioning if needed. The trip overall was another good year good weather all week and fun with family. This year however did prove to have a lot of minor injuries. The first injury was my brother eric he reinjured his knee when he came down off a jump and his leg just buckled under him. I went next and attempted to go big or go home because I had been recieving criticism from Eric that I was being a baby on the board. So what happens I jumped well but landed on my side. I bruised my side, burst my ear drum and lost my contact. There is nothing like losing some of your hearing everything sounded muffled and far away. Later that day my cousin went and face planted really hard. Then Justin also face planted doing a jump 180 and bloodied his nose in the process. Even with all the injuries we would go and do it all over again. I won't say that I didn't miss the freedom of having no child there but it was fun to see how Seth reacted to the whole experience.
