Alex has been waiting for this moment all year.We're at grandma and grandpa's for the week. The kids haven't had much of a vacation this summer since Dana had camp and Alex had summer services since the Spring term ended. So, the change of scenery was welcome. It is, after all, the end of summer and school starts again soon.
And Mommy and Daddy are always thankful for the extra helping hands. Free babysitting! We can actually go out for dinner or a movie. Though Daddy might fall asleep in a movie theater. So, Mommy will have to wait 'till "Becoming Jane" comes out on DVD for her period drama "chick flick." We haven't seen a movie since "King Kong."
Anyway, Alex was "so happy he could just spit." Especially since there are two heads on the boat (itty bitty bathrooms) and he had full access to both. Given they don't flush the way a normal potty flushes but he was in heaven just being able to stand there and look at them. So, he spent the bulk of the trip below deck running from one potty to the other. At least we knew he wouldn't be able to escape anywhere down there.
He did finally come up for air and sat at the bow watching the boat cut through the water on the return ride back. Perfect day for sailing. Good wind and a following sea or something.
Dana decided to pass on this trip to get her "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" fix.
I said, "You don't want to be out there? Sun on your back. Wind in your hair? Bugs in your teeth?"
"Not really. No." (increases volume on the DVD player to hear Chewbacca the Wookie's... what the heck do you even call that noise that comes out of his throat?)
