First Sail

Sunday, August 30, 2009

On Thursday night, we decided to head to the "acht club" for Ike's first official sail with Daddy. He was very excited but still had to have a token swim off the dock before the sailing started. They rigged up the Opti that Ike called Speedy Gonzales (aka Tsu Nami) and within a few minutes they were sailing. Ike loves boats and water so we weren't surprised when he loved to sail in the little Opti. He liked to steer but the main problem is he looks backward instead of forward... oh well many years to practice.

When heading back to the dock we ran into the Petersons with Molly. Molly came with candy so Ike was instantly her best friend. We convinced Molly to come out for a spin in the Opti and she did great! Molly has been a little leary of the boats and water this Summer so we were extra proud of her. They are great buddies and it is incredible to watch them feed off each other.

how cute is that?

Molly loves it!

Whitney & Matt were proud spectators

Do we look like trouble?

it is so fun to play leap frog!

I love Molly's skip in her step, feet off the ground in this shot

Until next time...
