Well, I’ve been 30 for just over a week now, and I still feel 23… wonder if that will ever change…
Sky, Averhy, and I went sailing on my dad’s boat for my birthday last weekend and we had a great time, despite the lack of wind and the annoying flies. It was fun to watch Averhy “help” her Grandpa steer the boat, and to listen to hear excited squeals as we crashed through the waves. For a while, she and Sky sat up at the bow and she sang at the top of her lungs! After sailing on Saturday, we drove over to the beach and let Averhy splash a bit in the chilly water of Lake Michigan and squish the sand between her toes…
It took my dad 26 years to build the boat – he started when I was almost 2 – and it is so neat to watch him enjoy it now, and be able to enjoy it with Averhy… especially because he started the project thinking that he’d probably be out sailing by the time I was Averhy’s age…
