our days passed happily but too quickly with grammy barby when she was visiting last weekend. instead of spending the day at the beach, christopher came up with the idea of renting a sailboat and it was a treat for all. it had been a while since we had gone, and much to our surprise we learned barby had never been so that was especially cool.
it was a nice day - sunny, 75 degrees, and a little windy - just perfect for sailing. we rented a 18' capri which we all fit in quite well. first mate finn was at the helm at the beginning of our journey, but after going in circles a few times, christopher took over -before we turned green. we saw a regatta, talked about how awesome it would be to own a sailboat, and just enjoyed each other's company while the sun shined on our faces and the wind swept our hair all over the place. the little guys discovered they could go below deck and found small windows to look out of which kept them entertained.
after sailing, we grabbed sandwhiches and headed to the soccer field to watch finn plays his last game of the season. he was exhausted from sailing but managed to score two goals which made him feel so proud. barby seemed to enjoy herself and i'm sure she found watching this under 6 (yrs) league as entertaining as any comedy.
though grammy barby is far away, she is always close to our hearts. we love you!!
