When one goes boogie boarding, there are a couple things that have proven to be helpful.
1). Wear a hat. This will keep the water from getting in the eyes. Now, don't blame me if some water splashes up into your face and therefore getting in your eyes, for it will happen but the hat will certainly keep most of the water at, ahem, bay.
2). An extra pair of sunglasses should be worn instead of the everyday pair. I have prescription eye glasses with transition lenses, but I also have at least one extra pair with the transition lenses and those are the ones I wear when boogieing on my board. :) The glasses not only keep the sun out (and help me see clearly) but they also help keep water out of my eyes also.
3). I love my board shorts. They give me more coverage in modesty as well as make boogie board riding more comfortable. Board shorts are a must.
4). And if you wear board shorts then a good tankini is a good option for the top half (of course!). When I shop for a tankini I am always looking for one that is longer than average because of my long torso. And because I get tankinies that are longer, this also means that I don't get a rash from the board rubbing on my tummy. I love my long tankini top!
5). A water-proof watch. When a mom hits the waves while her kids are at VBS, it's important that she keep track of time so she can be on time to pick them up*.
6). The boogie board. Maybe I should have mentioned this first. It's pretty essential to boogie boarding. But maybe that's just me.
*disclaimer - this doesn't necessarily mean that she will be on time, it's not the watch's fault if she's late, and she may get a talking to from the VBS ladies working the registration tables.

Hi Deanne! I haven't seen you forever but I do occasionally check your blog still! your family is so cute.
What a great idea to go boogie boarding with your no-kid time. Good for you!
You are so cool! I'm amazed that you go boogie boarding with a hat and glasses without losing them in the waves. Glad you're having a great boogie boarding week. Two more years and I hope to be out there with you.
Oooh, I love boogie boarding. But here in Oregon #1 on my list is a wet suit. #2 don't forget your booties. Having a warm body, but cold cold feet makes for a quick trip.
Looks like a fun week, hope you catch waves!
