It's an easy Sunday morning to sail away.

A few weekends ago, at our local Public Safety fair, Zachary made an egg carton sail boat. Which has been sitting by our back door waiting to be sailed. Lucky for us, one of our local parks recently completed a man made estuary canal, creek thingy next to the play ground. Complete with stepping stones! Early afternoon Sunday we packed up our truck and headed out for another exciting day.

As you can see, the boat is made out of a Styrofoam hull, a straw for a mast & the weak link- a flimsy piece of construction paper for the sail. The egg-boat really took off, until the sail got soaked. Regardless, the current in the water managed to keep the boat moving along for quite a show!

Concentration is a necessary skill for any ships captain...tongue is optional.

Once we felt confident Zachary wasn't interested in getting into the creek, we allowed him free reign. He had a blast & we enjoyed watching him. The Miller boys are already drawing up engineering plans to improve their water vessel. I think they should start by naming her. Maybe something like "Water Walker" or "Grace under water" or "Don't fall in".

We also visited one of our local festivals Sunday. We will share those pictures in a few days. Thanks for visiting our blog! We hope you are all enjoying this beautiful season too! Blessings to you and yours!
