We're back at where we lived summers at our beach cottage. Many old friends that I've known all my life along with new friends here at the beach are making it like old home week. It's a small beach community on the CT shore. Mostly "New Englandy" style cottages and year round homes. My great grandfather built our beach cottage and it was in the family until about 12 years ago so we go way back on the Point.
Many afternoons lead into early evening and we are still on the beach. Tonight there were about a dozen of us with everyone contributing to happy hour that lasted for about 3 hours. After the big box of wine, people went up to raid their refrigerators for more wine. We had a spread from cheese and crackers to shrimp cocktail.
One of the friends' guest had her paddle board and most everyone was taking a turn on it. Natalia and Tami took right to it. After everyone had had their turns (and after my 4th glass of wine), I decided that I should try it as the next to the oldest on the beach. Well, I got up on my feet and paddled around before deciding it was time to paddle while kneeling. I never fell off so I'd say I am a cool grandma.
Enjoy the video.
Natalia took to it much more quickly; unfortunately I can't video of her to upload right now. More to come in the next days!
Go, Cool Grandma, Go!!! That is fantastic!!! =)
ReplyDeleteWoe. I'm impressed. Those things are surprisingly hard to balance on for as big as they are.
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to balance and when I felt like I was wobbly, I got on my knees. Tami is going to rent one the beginning of the week so they'll have it to play with. I'll be back at work.

You look very good and very professional on this board. I would never dare to get on one. We do have people on our beach who use those boards.

Oh, Tina! I can't believe I missed this before! At first I thought you meant you posted the video after 4 glasses of wine, then I went back and read more carefully. lol...
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I can't figure out if I'm more impressed you are posting videos now or if you can balance on that board. You go, girl!
I love it! Did you do anymore paddling without me? I heard that there were some more boards there a week or so ago.
