New Year's Day at 4 in the morning we were yet again on the road heading south to our baja beach/surf shack this time with Henry's friend Jake in tow. This is our 5th New Year's trip with the Smiths and Rondos who had been camping at that same palapa spot where the shack now stands since the mid-90s. Our friends always come down day after Christmas and leave after New Year's so by the time we get there the place is already rockin'. This year there are 18 of us all told, including 6 mo old Trey Rondo and 18mo old Aubrey Kelsay.

Ahhh! I cant stand it. We miss you guys! AZ has been great, but our fam is sure not the same without VanSlootens. We need to meet in this summer! Although I wont be able to surf, (booooo!) I dont think my doctor would approve of me surfing at 9 months pregnant??? What do you think?)
