Sailing!

(Click on the collage to make it larger)

Well, we bought a sailboat! We thought it would be fun for the kids! Okay, not really. Wouldn't that be nice! Joshua's boss, Kevin, took us out sailing a couple of weeks ago. It was a friday afternoon and the weather was perfectly warm. There wasn't much of a breeze when we began. We had never been sailing before, so sitting in the middle of the lake and not moving, was still fun enough for us. Kevin kept insisting that it was better when there was wind : ) Then, the wind picked up! It really was incredible! Such an unusual feeling, gliding through the water with no motor. It was quite an experience to see the sails fill with wind pull us gently across the lake. We had a great afternoon!

Adalyn has turned out to be quite the sailor. She was all over the boat. She absolutely loved it. Her and Ethan were up at the front the entire time. I am very surprised that they didn't fall right out and into the lake! Adalyn begged to come back the next day and do it again.
