Fourth of July

No pics (maybe later) but my Fourth involved two of my favorite activities: sailing and setting off explosives - a coworker just pointed out that it's probably a good thing that I didn't try to combine the two ....

Happy Unalienable Rights Day.

guest post by Isaac

(Isaac dictated this story to me one day - last year, apparently I've been sitting on it for a while! The quote in the second-to-last line was in a very spooky voice. I've formatted it to evoke the original delivery.)

It was a dark and stormy night,
when a boat crashed into another boat.

there was people in the boat

and the people jumped out into another boat

they was safe and got to an island

they got lost

and there was a very scary person

who got up and said, "Hello, children"

and the people was sad the end

Grrr

Depoe Bay Boat Show

This Sunday we drove to Depoe Bay for their annual Boat Show. It's a charming, minute harbor with a correspondingly charming, minute boat show but well worth the time. The kids enjoyed building their own boats with hot glue, and I enjoyed chatting with some of the builders of these fine boats.
