Instructor Rhonda teaching us the basics on scuba technique and safety.

Getting ready to go in!



Lots more instruction/time to get comfortable

Time to breathe under water!

And they're down!  14 feet under.


That was awesome!!!!

The only reason they got out of the pool is because the store was closed and the employees wanted to go home!

Fourteen candles


Such darling, sweet girls and a fun and totally memorable birthday.  
It was a fun and exhausting day.  Probably one of the easiest birthday parties we've EVER done, and yet one that will be engrained in these girls' minds forever.  
Madison didn't want a big party, just a few friends to go surfing.  The weather was too stormy so we switched to scuba literally the day before.  Since she (and John) were officially certified the week before, their instructors were happy to be involved with her birthday celebration.  It was the first time Sport Chalet has ever hosted a birthday party.  You never know, this could be the new thing.  Forget laser tag or mini golf . . . go scuba!
