Another lovely sailing trip thanks to Captain Bruce. Finlay is at an age now where he is really interested in boats (and diggers and trucks and other large motorized vehicles) so the trip was a really big hit. Something finally trumped the airplane ride.
The weather was perfect for the day trip to Sidney Spit. We packed a lovely lunch and it was really nice to catch-up with the newly-weds and to see Bruce, once again, interacting with Fin and Shay (this man really needs grandbabies!).
Here is Finlay with the WHEEL! Any park we go to he is driving the boat and just loves the wheels on the play-equipment. This was a real wheel - "not pretend Mama" he reassured me.
Hilary and Fin driving the boat. At the end of the day, Bruce let Fin actually drive the boat. He turned us in circles and could feel the reaction to his turns. He was wild about it and talked about it for days.
"I see 'Enemy'!" You know who you are...
Shay-Shay and Mama. He didn't fight the LJ too hard. Even nursed in it.
Serious sailor. Cutest baby on the boat.
On the Spit. Fin has a net. We are looking for "something."
We Ontarians aren't familiar with the sea shore. If you pick up large and loose rocks you find these little crabs. We found tons and picked them up and felt them "tickle" as they tried escape.
More crabs! Fin refused to take his LJ off. He loved it.
Fin and Daddy walking along the beach.
Finlay found "a home" and he and Bruce played in it.
"Mama, do you want to play in my home with me?"
The language coming out of this guy amazes me.
Family.
Little feet in a big ocean.
Love it.
Thanks so much to Bruce and to Hilary for arranging things! It was just lovely and Fin really enjoyed it!
