Papa's Boat

On a recent visit with my parents, we went to the yacht harbor to introduce Ryan and Lucie to my Dad's boat. This outing happened weeks ago, yet it's still alive to Ryan and Lucie as they talk about it many times a day. Anytime they spot a boat, they gleefully point at it, sign "boat" (hands cupped together rocking as if on water), and cry out "Papa! Papa!" This is always followed by Ryan saying, "Up! Up!" reminding us of the great time he had climbing up the ladder in the cabin of the boat.

With such a love of boats, we sure hope R & L don't inherit their father's tendency for seasickness. I know my Dad hopes so too - Ryan and Lucie will make great first mates!
