birth of a pirate
With mom hard at work prepping for her penultimate test of the semester, we got out of her way to explore Lake Crabtree County Park just north of Cary.
First we tried fishing from the bank, without much success. Then we went for a little ride in our canoe to check out the boat rental beach which inspired us to paddle back to our car to retrieve my wallet in order to rent a sailboat.
With the deposit paid and the waiver signed we were set loose on the waters of Lake Crabtree in our own Sunfish. Sam was a little uncertain at first and was not real enthusiastic when the wind picked up and the boat heeled a bit onto one side. But with a little reassurance and some time, he warmed up to the experience and by the time our hour was up he didn't want to stop.
And to top it off, Mame did great on her test!
