Sailing, sailing...
Wow, what a busy week it's been! I'll go in chornological order and try to make it short and sweet. I have lots of pictures to share.
Sunday, we met Herbie! He was a fashionably late (ok, 2.5 hours isn't exactly fashionable, and it was H-O-T!), but finally he arrived. He was actually Herbie #9 of however many different herbies they used for the upcoming movie. The herbie that we saw was a junkyard herbie who shoots smoke out his muffler in the movie, which I can't wait to see.
Here he is!
This week we took sailing lessons at the yacht club. DH and I missed the first two days, but we made up for them the last 3. (Actually, he missed the first 3 days, but who's counting.) I just happened to call DH's lil sis, and found out she needed a ride, so we went and had a blast! Thanks Chelsea!
Here's DH heading out on a sunfish:
And here's DH an his lil'sis after sailing on the larger catamaran. (I just love this pic.)
Today was my first ever knitting class! I had so much fun spending time and teaching these girls to knit. They were so sweet and so smart. I wasn't sure how to gauge how well I taught today and how well they liked it until I had a certain conversation:
G: Well, my mom said she's going to wait on the porch, so I guess she's ready to go.
Me: Yea, I guess so. But you can call the shop and I'll meet you here if you ever need help later.
G: I'll just knit one more row, then I'll go meet her.
[she finishes row]
G: Well, just one more row.
[she finishes row]
[I look at her and smile.]
Me: You want to do another row?
G: Just one more.. Man, it's hard to put this down.
The minute I heard her say, "one more row," I knew she was hooked and I felt like my job was done. All I could think of was, "oh honey!" LOL
I just beamed!
From left to right: G, A, and A. (I'd rather not put names until I have their mom's permission.)
You girls were great! Hope to see you next Saturday!
