Boat Day




Am weak with exhaustion. Archie had his school's 'Boat Day' today. Kayaking, sailing, boating, rowing, fishing, sand sculpture, etc, etc, words are beginning to fail me. Jonno was supervising fishing and I had a little bit of time with Archie's class kayaking before picking Hugo up from pre-school. In fact, Archie and I won the final kayak race by a margin of 50 metres. Apparently word around the other parents was that maybe I took it a little seriously. I honestly didn't mean to punch the air in triumph. It felt amazing to beat a class of five year olds. One day I will be old and their arms longer, I rest easy knowing they will have their day.
