U.S. Open

Yesterday we went to the U.S. Open to watch our Uncle Tyler surf. He surfed in the longboard invitational and we were able to get passes to watch him and go into the athletes tent. Tyler did awesome and made it to the final round, which was today. We had a blast watching him and all the other pro-surfers. Jack and Jimmy were in heaven! They got pictures with their favorite surfers and were so excited the whole day!



Here is Jack and Jimmy with Kelly Slater. This was just after he finished his heat and was back by the showers. They didn't stop smiling the rest of the day!



We were able to see Rob Machado. He was so cool!

Jack got this cool picture of Kelly surfing under the pier. The crowd went crazy when Kelly stayed on the wave and went under the pier.



These next few pictures are of Rob Machado. He was so fun to watch.

Thanks to Kathy and Tyler for making it such an amazing day!
