A good time was had by all...

Being a good father and uncle--Dave and I decided to take the kids out for a short trip around Portage Lake. Things started well.
Kate was excited.

Ben was content with his refreshing beverage.

Nick had been bribed with the prospect of ice cream.

Dave made plans for pirate attacks.

We left the marina--the sun on our faces, the wind in our hair, and the sails were full.  Well, perhaps there was a bit too much wind in the hair...Kate took a moment to thoughtfully consider her circumstances.

Ultimately, she decided she was not a big fan of the conditions...or sailing.

Perhaps next summer will go better.
