Pirates, Fun Invade Beach During Surf Family Robinson

I know. I'm a day late. Guess what? It's labor day.

This is actually work for me. There are no magic buttons here on this weekly blog. It takes many hours of putting this all together for you all every week. And well, sometimes even lil Ralphie get's tired and needs a day off. After all. I have not missed a single week in 9 years. Think about that. Not a single week in over 9 years. Who the hell does that? Not many. I read the blogs. I know what's out there. I keep it consistent for a reason.

I think a day here and there is reasonable. Am I right people?

So here we are, another end to another summer. Look I have seen a few summers come and go in my day. But if there's one thing that really gets my goat about these NEW politically correct summers is this. Having kids go back to school before Labor Day is a crime. Are you kidding me?

Who thought that was a good idea? That's a bunch of BS!

Going back to school before Labor day is just not right. That's why I have our annual Surf Family Robinson Party every Labor Day Weekend. Because that is the official end of of Summer.
Going to class in August? That's crazy. Not to mention insanely hot and humid. Hello? Global warming? Who the hell wants to sit in class when it's 90 degrees and there's little waves?

Not me. Not anyone I know. Go back to the traditional end of summer and stop this insanity. Let the kids be free for one more week. Stop this before it gets out of control. Next thing you know they will be heading back to school after July 4th!

You parents and kids should start working on this now.

If you need me to sign a petition or even start one just let me know. Let's take back the summer Kids!

[Second photo] On Saturday September 1st, we had our annual Surf Family Robinson Beach Party. This annual party comes off the heels of the hugely successful MOLLY contest the weekend before. And the week before that was our annual Wounded Warriors Hit the Beach Day. Man we have one action packed end of summer events all lined up week after week.

The MOLLY raised over $7,000 towards the Molly Fund. That is just AWESOME. I hate to say that word but it's true! So truly amazing that the legacy of that sweetheart Molly would be this MOLLY Fund that helps families who have children dealing with cancer. Giving back to the community and helping families who are less fortunate than we are is such a rewarding experience.

The MOLLY Surf Contest is all about smiling and laughing and positive vibes all around. Nobody is trying to BEAT anybody in the contest, they all want one thing. To have FUN. And trust me. They all had fun. Including all the adults and all the kids.

[Third photo] Think these guys are taking themselves too serious? Ha!
Buck and Erica joining in the celebration of the MOLLY. Though I better not see either one of these two dressed like this outside of the MOLLY, unless of course it's Halloween or something. But this is the vibe of the MOLLY. FUN!

Having fun on the beach! What a novel idea. Long LIVE MOLLY ROWLEE and the AWESOME .

[First photo] So getting back to Surf Family Robinson. Just what exactly is SFR? Well back in the late 80's and early 90's a bunch of us first time parents thought it would be a good idea to have an end of summer beach party for all the surfers with kids. Our very first one was in 1992. *The Pirate on the left was at the very first one as a small child.

The Pirate on the right is the star of the show. Pirate Jonas is the most hated Pirate in all of Pirate land. And every year he comes looking for Capn Vince and his buried treasure. The only thing he finds is a bunch of surfers and their kids.

This year was our 21st annual SFR! Yes that's 21 years!

That tradition still lives on. And as long as there are surfers with young kids who want to hang out at the beach with others just like you, there will always be a SURF FAMILY ROBINSON, and it will always fall on the Saturday of LABOR DAY WEEKEND. Because at least we can determine when Summer ends. And as far as SFR is concerned. Summer Ends after Labor Day. Not before it.

Now for Some Of My Weekly Global Observances:

The GOP convention has ended but not before Hurricane ISSAC wrecked havoc in New Orleans. And then Tropical Storm Clint Eastwood took to the stage and unloaded on the President. I admit, that was weird. This week it's the Democrats turn to turn the tide that is fast rising against them. Look, this blog is not about politics. That's what facebook is all about. Spew your misguided and uninformed BS there. The bottom line is this. Are you better off than you were 4 years ago? If you can answer that honestly, then base your vote on that fact. Just vote.

I'll personally be voting for REAL Hope and REAL Change.
