Not being big football fans, the Pinky Street girls started a tradition back in 2006... yes, 2006... of going surfing on (nearly) every Super Bowl Sunday. Of course, they lived in Hawaii back then, so it was easier. Since they moved to Utah a few years ago, their Super Bowl Sunday surfing excursions have become a bit more challenging.
2018: "I think the water is a little bit too cold!"
2017: "Uhmm... we must have taken a really, really, really wrong turn somewhere!"
2016: "This... isn't the beach I remember from last year!"
2016: "I... think... I might cry...."
2013: Shredding on da North Shore!
2013: Kowabunga!
2011: Palm Trees in Paradise on da North Shore of Oahu
2010: Ka'ena Point, Oahu, Hawaii
2008: Sassy Surfer Girl on da Beach in Hawaii
2007: Surf's up at Kaiaka Bay Beach Park
2007: Babes with Boards – North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii
2006: Head high and hollow: an epic North Shore surf day coaxes the
Pinky Street girls away from the big game on Super Bowl Sunday and out to the beach
for what will become an annual tradition.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

OMG I love all of these! They are so stinkin' cute!! I mean, just... XD
Fantastic lighting for having to shoot with sun and snow. And the fact that there's no sense of how tiny they really are; the perspective is great. So hard to even pick a favourite... the one from 2016 in the car with the snow, and "surf's up".... And "Babes with boards" is adorable.
I spent a winter in Hawaii.... I miss it.... SIIIGGGHHHHHH
Would love to see more of their adventures.

These are all wonderful photos! However, I am partial to the Hawaii ones since I get enough of winter in Ohio.

They're all very fun! But that ice pick... I do think that water might be a tad bit cold.
(Your Pinky's adventures are sure neat! :3 )

2019: Rainy, Snowy, Windy, Muddy... and Stuck Inside
2019: Arright, gang, it's time to DO something about this!
The girls face the grim reality that their fourth Super Bowl Sunday in Utah finds them
stuck indoors due to cold, wind, rain, snow, and mud. In response, they pro-actively decide
to start re-building their beach house that had to be left behind when they moved to Utah
from Hawaii. The staircase seen here is the only part of the house they were able
to salvage. (It was also the most challenging element to construct.)
There is more behind this undertaking than simply having a cool house again, although that is the
short-term objective. Longer term, this will be a "visualization" or "power of positive thinking"
project. The girls, and I, are ready to live someplace warm and tropical again, someplace where
Super Bowl Sunday surf sessions can be a reality rather than a fantasy. Hawaii would be great.
Florida might be an option. I mean, warm weather and manatees, right?
There's more to this, but it was making the caption too long. Anyway, Super Bowl Sunday 2019
was, from a surfing perspective, a total bust. But from a Looking Toward the Future perspective...
maybe not.
Oh, and, Happy Imbolc! Today marks the astronomical midpoint between the winter solstice and the
vernal (spring) equinox. Technically, then, today is the first day of spring! YAY!
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

While the snow ones are both amusing and a little sad, I do prefer the Hawaii ones on the beach.

That's awesome idea for Super Bowl Sunday tradition! Cute and funny photos and cute and funny Pinky Street girls! Good luck with The House of Positive Thinking project! (And now I made it sound like a lunatic asylum, didn't I? Sorry )

'Lunatic asylum' sounds about right, actually!

It was fun to look through all these again. This time I was struck by the idea that their little car (3rd pic) has a face, and he looks rather worried
How cool that your wish to be somewhere warmer, came true. Now, to build the beach house!

The car was probably cold.
