Boat and Boat

Last week the Brooklyn Boat met the California Boat. Our entire family wore matching Macs sweatshirts for the occasion, in the hopes that we would take a family photo. Even though we spent most of the week together (wearing our Macs sweatshirts every day, more or less), the family photo never happened. The photo below came close, but still only captured 1/3 of the family. You can see that the Brooklyn Boat displays a disgust for family photos that most kids don't develop until early adolescence. He's so advanced.

Lifejackets

You can tell from the photos that it wasn't great sailing weather. It was 70s and sunny for most of the trip, except on Wednesday, when we went sailing, and it rained. We had better luck the previous afternoon, when we hit the beach with Julia.

Roan at the Beach

Last Monday we took Roan to the beach for the very first time. He loved it. The sand, the wind, the birds, the noise from the surf, and especially the ocean. He stared and stared at the waves.

You'll notice that none of these photos have the ocean in the background; that's because every time we positioned Roan with his back to the water he turned right around and crawled like mad straight for it. If you have never seen a baby crawl through sand at full speed in a button down shirt with the ocean rolling up to meet him, well, maybe you thought your life was already full to brimming with wonder and love, but a sight like that? Makes you realize there is always room for more.
