Sam's New Smile

Samantha got braces at the start of 5th grade and got them off right after she graduated from 6th grade.

Her last brace face smile.

Drum roll.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

A+ result!

Junior Guards 2020

 Junior Guards during the pandemic looked the same in some ways and then very different in other ways. 

Same uniform. 

Same transportation to camp.

Same group of kids.

Mesa JGs.

And then womp, womp - small group cohorts. 

Although nothing really made sense since they were still mixing and mingling. 🤷‍♀️

Prepping for the day one swim test. 

They passed! 

They passed!

Once in a while they said to put on a mask.🥴

At least they got some exercise and some fun that summer.

These two reconnected! ❤️ 

Harbor lunches post-guards.

Summer besties.

I love seeing the JGs biking to camp each summer especially when I know them. 😎

Post-guard swim dates.

Instead of a big group photo in real life, they photoshopped everyone together. 😆

Kelly Slater did make an appearance one day and signed shirts!

This dirty shirt hung in Thatcher's room for a while.

Thatcher entertaining on the JG insta channel.

Well earned Blenders post-camp! 

No competitions, it wasn't the full summer and I'm not sure if the camp ever returned to the same price and way it was pre-covid. Glad we were able to have a good run prior to 2020!
