I took Eva out Kayaing today. It was her first time on her own in her own kayak. I used to take her and let her sit in her own boat but would tow the boat around. that would at least give her the feeling of being in her own boat. However, now she is old enough to do it on her own.
She used Allison’s kayak but it is nice and small so it is perfect for Eva to use. We went out early to Great Pond and paddled around in the shallows until Eva got some confidence and it felt right to her. She picked it up quickly and had a lot of fun. By the end she didn’t want to stop paddling and she had gotten much better in her skill. However, we had to get back because the kids had swimming lessons today.
Eva will be in one class and then Andrew and Dylan in another. Kylie is supposed to be in another class but she take the class with Andrew and Dylan. Somehow she conned the lifeguards to let her go on the surfboard after class. That turned into all the kids getting a ride on it and then being able to jump off. They had fun. We spent the bulk of the afternoon out on the beach and had a nice time.
We said goodbye to Auntie Tara today and headed back home. We had a good flight back. This time I sat with the kids while Allison had the extra seat in the other row. The kids were great on the flight and it was a quick shot back home. We got back and got our car from Pre-flight then went right to Bliss Bros for lunch.
While we were in the airpoirt, however, Andrew started something new. He asked me to take his photo with his lovey, Lambie. He doesn’t often ask for his photo taken and he wanted to have it taken by the silhouette of the man. The silhouette of the man indicating that it was the men’s bathroom. Sure, why not.
When he arrived at Bliss Andrew again asked me to take his photo with Lambie. This time in front of the cow mural at Bliss. We had a nice lunch, ran into friends and when lunch was over and the ice cream was finished Andrew asked again for a photo.
This time he wanted a photo of he and Lambie in front of the Milk Wagon that they have on display inside the store. I asked him why so many photos of he and Lambie. He said that he wanted to have a slideshow of the places he has gone. He came up with this on his own.
