Splashing in the waves

Sydney and her friends

It was tricky counting all their heads in the waves.

It was Sydney's 13th birthday today.  She had some of her friends over after school.  They dropped off their bags with Adam and Dagan, and then we walked home.  Sydney wanted to spend her birthday at the beach.  She has always wanted a swimming party, but that hasn't worked since her birthday is in the winter in the USA.  Here, she has a summer birthday.  The girls and Dagan played in the ocean and "sledded" down the sand dunes.  We had dinner when we got home.  Sydney wanted Chicko's.  We also got her cake from there.  We ended up with the large one.  We will be eating it for days.  They had fun listening to our music videos and playing games for the rest of the evening.  They are a nice group of girls.
