Play On, Maestro

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

What a big day we had on Sunday! After church and a nap, we took Gramps' boat to the new Squid Lips for a (very) late lunch. There were minor operator-error technical difficulties that we overcame and then the rest of the trip was uneventful, if not a little cold.

Going under the bridge and seeing the birds was a great thrill (smelling them was not), almost as much as watching the sailboat. We got to the restaurant and climbed up the docks to go inside.

Somehow the parties in charge disappeared and Duke, my mom and I were left waiting in the booth. Mom and I were talking and I look next to me at my son, who has taken a (dull) knife out of the silverware roll and is rubbing it back and forth on his shoulder.

I ask him what he is doing- "violin." My mom and I dissolve in giggles. Darrell and Dad come back, we ask Duke to show them. Darrell is not amused. I guess letting our almost 2-year old play with a knife isn't his idea of funny. Oh, well.

Here's a photo from the ride:

"O Captain! My Captain!"
