GAME TURTLES KAYAK
This post's format is a mystery to me, but that happens on the Mac. No sweat. You can figure this out. Here are the clever headings that should accompany these photos: Hangman - Star Wars/Marin style, Snacks with the turtles, Kayaking with Uncle Kai, and Kayaking with Dad.
By the way, I took the kayak out on Wednesday while everyone was in school. (I start school/teaching next week.)
What was there: silence, stillness, diving pelicans, a seal, a breeze drying my lips and standing my arm hairs up, a boat called Great White.
What was left of 'there' when I got home: salt streaks on my legs, sand on the floor, and the memory of the kayak spin-out, where you quit paddling and your kayak turns itself half-way around with a soft whoosh -- that slower, but just as satisfying, version of a teenage tire skid.
Not only did we sneak Dane and Aubrey up on stage when Mick walked (about four families did that!), but Mick was hooded by his fabulous, lovable, newly graduated Endodontist brother, Kai -- an honor bestowed on graduates with a dentist family member or mentor.
