Sailing

Our friends just bought a used 15' sailboat (for $300!). They invited us to join them on its maiden voyage yesterday. We took it out on a lake near our house, where the wind was not always cooperative. But oh man, it was fun.

Sophie played with her friend Christian.
When they weren't in the boat, the older kids conducted "research" on the wildlife. They brought home a dead crawfish, two crawfish claws, a decomposing snake skin and a chicken bone. All of which somehow made it back with us and into the house. Awesome.
