Today when I woke up I was really excited because today we are going sand boarding and the car ride was really bumpy and there was a dog that was called Zak he was really cute.  When we got there I had to wear these really big shoes that were worse than Justin Beder’s shoes they were so BIG!!  

Then I got my sand board and then we had to start climbing the sand dune which took a really long time and my legs really started to hurt because I also had to carry my sand board up the sand dune.  Next we had to learn how to wax our board.  I had to wax my board so that when we slid down the sand dune we move instead of staying still.  

Step one you get a bit of wax in your hand.
Step two rub all the wax from your hand on the board.
Step three rub sand on the board.

And that’s how you wax the board.  Then a man called Jay helped us go down a little sand dune and then we got the hang of it.  Then we could go down on our own and then we went down bigger sand dunes.  Then I got to go lying down sand boarding which was also fun.  When it was over we went back down we got to have some lunch and soft drink and Zak tried jumping up and getting everybody’s food.  But he didn’t get my food though.

Hi Nana, there was an age limit, I think it was 5 or 6, or maybe not. You could be as old as you like, so I think you could go if you want. You know Sandboarding was my favourite part of the whole trip so far.

Love Meg

Oh wow I would love to try that. I wonder if it would work on grass? Not sure how you would wax the board though...

Hi!! I miss you guys. I don't think that you could really go SAND boarding on grass but if you had a back yard fill of sand you might be able too. Say hi to Mia for me! MEGGY!

Cool Stuff ~ I would love to try that too. When we were younger, we use to get a big bit of cardboard and slide down the hill ~ it was only a little hill ~ not like the ones you have slid down. Love your big boots!!! They look pretty heavy! Go MEGS xxxx HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR MUMMY FOR ME XXX
