Mom's 65^th Birthday Family Weekend
It's important that we played with all of the available toys - when the wind finally picked up, it was time to try out the sailboat.
We even 'practiced' flipping the boat - getting back on was another story.
I just realized that this was also the rafting/beach day too - wow we really packed fun into this weekend.

A view as the wind picks up.

Jill and Joshua.

Jill and Joshua take off for a ride across the pond.

Here they come.

Jill and Michael take off on their own.

Good photo.

Alone at last.

Wow, from the looks of this photo, the wind really did pick up.

Jill hangs on.

Coming in for a landing.

Joshua's turn.

Waving goodbye with Dad.

Excellent photo of Michael, champion sailor.

Jill and Zachary have fun.

They did this on purpose so that Zachary could learn.
Our adventure was another story.

Here they come.

In case you were wondering - Jill took her big sister for a sail, flipped the boat, laughed our heads off as we tried to get back on,
even Michael came out with the speed boat to save us - I almost swam back to shore. But we eventually made it, and had the bruises to prove it.

Take me to boating, hiking, eating, swimming, rafting, waterskiing.

Take me back to Maine.
