| Yay a water fountain! You can see Daniel's work behind Maddie. |

| Maddie was a bit apprehensive on board the sailboat. There were random openings in the floor that men would pop out of now and then. Here she is looking nervously down into one of those openings that had a ladder down into the space below deck. I dont know if she was worried that she might fall down it or if someone might come out of it. |

Four days! Its only four days into summer and already I am longing for autumn, I am pretty certain Daniel is too. The new season has ushered in a lot of change with it. One such change is an overhaul of our awful backyard. Ugh lots of hard work, dirt and sweat. I will be posting pictures of that eventually when we get closer to finishing. In the meantime, we took a break a few weekends ago and went to the
Harborfest celebration in Norfolk Va. in hopes of getting some great photos of the tall ships and their sails and some good food. Unfortunately, it insanely packed with people. Getting photos and food proved to be difficult but we did get a chance to step onto one of the ships and take a look around and eat some very greasy, very expensive fish and chips. All and all it was a good time, Madeline got to see a mermaid up close, play with a ship's wheel, and take in the sights and sounds of a water fountain downtown. The highlight of the day for her was the fountain's intake pipe that was creating a whirlpool. She was totally fascinated by it and she begged to go back and see it a second time before we left. Silly girl.
