Row, Row, Row Your Boat


























I believe the word of the day yesterday was "Serendipity". It's one of my favorite words anyway, meaning 'a happy accident'. We were visiting Lainie and Bavan saturday in Connecticut. Weather-wise the week had progressed from from a tornado on wednesday, drenching rain on friday, to a beautiful, warm sunny day on saturday. Bavan has lake rights, which we believed included access to several canoes visible from his house. Long story short, we didn't, but a neighbor drove by seeing our troubles (kids suited up with life jackets and oars, no boat) and lent us his boat for the day! Yahoo. Jake absolutely LOVED rowing, being in the boat, everything. There were a million dragonflies around, which he was trying to catch. Aidan gave it a try (he is a brave guy) and when we got home he said his favorite parts of the day were: When the nice guy let us use his boat, running up and down the stairs and jumping on the bed.
Jake said: THE BOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a tragic remark, Aidan said he did not like holding onto the silver bar in the boat when it was hot. So sad. The kid speaks non stop, but he couldn't mention that he was scalding his hands. Poor guy.

Even though Aidan looks 100% miserable in the pictures, he said he really liked being in the boat.
