The Burnett Family (aka Wyld Type)

I had to wrangle a fellow parent into meeting us at the beach, since I neither know surfing nor own a surfboard. HOWEVER, I knew my Tessie would be a wiz at this surfing gig. And that she was. Tess combs the beach with her little buddy G.G. Far right is Jack on the boogie board! (Sorry, couldn't get closer as I was watching the *rest* of the munchkins on the beach) Here she is! Standing on the board. AND THIS IS IT. Her first wave. [sigh] She is so proud of herself--and we of her!!!

Geocaching (nature/treasure hunts) Jack's production line includes laptops and iPhones Dancing to Pinkalicious The fam with the 11-time winner of People's Choice, and 1st place in the marque class! We are actually a traveling circus Sophie the leaning tower of Gigi
