When Hazel and Addie woke up from their naps, we were off to Birch
Point. When we got there, Ben and Alex were out getting Whitecap ready
to bring in to the float. Deb and Megan were sitting in the shade. It
was extremely warm, so any coolness the ocean could bring us, we
welcomed! When Ben and Alex arrived with Whitecap, we all piled in and
slathered on sunscreen!
We drove down to the Basin and anchored. Alex was in the water about
when the anchor chain got wet. Hazel and Addie were a little
apprehensive about this jumping in the water bit.
When Daddy undressed and jumped in they were even more so! They relaxed a little and laughed and clapped at all the antics after a bit.
We were on a tight schedule, so we began eating supper at about 5:00 PM. Nana made grilled cheese for Alex and Megan. She also brought some chicken salad which disappeared. Megan discovered she liked the chicken salad so she had some of that too!
We hauled up the anchor and started for home at about 5:45 PM and arrived at Birch Point at a little after 6:00. Alex and Ben put Whitecap to bed. Alex picked up the mooring float with the boat hook like she had been doing it all her life.
A good time was had by all.
Hard to believe our family now numbers ten and 8/9th people!
