It dawned on me as I was up earlier than I wanted to be this morning, sipping on coffee and browsing the Naples Daily News online that today was The Great Dock Canoe Races. Andy and I used to go to the canoe races every year together for many years in a row and Andy has been more times than most. We used to get up at 7:00 after going to bed at 2 a.m., hit Publix for food and beer and head down to the dock Leroy kept his boat, the Noodle. We'd head out and usually crack open our first beer around 9 a.m. Wow, now I'm sipping on coffee and reading the paper at 9...and doing mother's day art projects for the grandmothers too. Things have really changed in just three years time and I couldn't be happier. We had so much fun this morning with our art project. (I don't want to say what it is so it's a surprise to the grandma's!!) We are starting a new tradition for the weekend of Mother's Day; no more Great Dock Canoe Races or being pelted by water balloons but instead staying home and sipping on coffee and doing art projects with the kids. Maybe I'll crack open a beer and throw on my bikini for old times sake! LOL Just kidding; I couldn't fit into my bikini if I tried. :)
Here are some pictures of the kids enjoying their art project!!
Bobby thought there was food involoved in this project. He was sure of it!
This sounds like a pretty great day, Kara:)...and that last picture is priceless!
