Beach, Boats, and Ice Cream

Today we are jumping back a little bit to some photos I forgot I had. :P

By the end of December I gave up on the idea of long and slow summer days arriving anytime soon and decided to look for short spaces in my schedule where I could squeeze in "summery" activities.

One evening we went in search of the sunset with ice creams in hand.

"Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink."

~Dwight L. Moody

Sailing

Hi Again,

We joined a homeschool sports club that was started in  term 1 this year (Homeschool Sports Auckland South to be exact i think) which did three weeks of sailing at the local sailing club.

I went out on one the boats once, but decided not to go out again.

Lined up being given instructions, etc, before
going down to where the boats are.

Looking through the trees down onto the water

Playing games while waiting to go on the boats

The one in the pink hat is Monique, I'm in the black cap,
 holding the rudder.

wierd picture of Monique - she looks like
Thompson and Thomson from the
Tintin comics! =)
