hello everyone

I just thought I would write to tell everyone that Oliver and I are going great, we have seen some beautiful stuff and have done some hilarious things. we tried body surfing about a week ago and Oliver really enjoyed it but I sortta got my ass kicked by some big waves and still enjoyed it. after we were putting mats boards away we saw a huge lizard that was about the size of my forearm so we had some fun with that, then we saw a grass hopper that was about as big as the spread between your finger and thumb and me and matt were talking about eating it and so out of nowhere he bit half and handed me the other half so I ate it but it was horrible with the big legs.

our friend Matt took us to this water fall where you could jump off the sides of rock so we spent the better part of a day there just jumping and swimming, we got some cool picts from that.

a few days ago matt and I were walking down a beach looking for a cool place to surf and look out at the ocean and we saw some hump back whales which was just wild and on our way back we saved a turtles life, it was on shore not doing much and segals were picking away at it so we picked it up and put it in the river, so that made a very cool day.

well I'm going to go but take care and thanks to everyone for writing me. and tell everyone I said g day.
