Fish, Ducks and Pirate Ships

After a long weekend of volleyball tournaments and graduate classes, we decided to go downtown for some fresh air, and a chance to catch some of nature's finest. The fish are now running in the river, so we wanted to see the big guys and possibly feed some ducks. Armed with old bread, we were incredibly disappointed to see the big signs everywhere that we were not to feed the water fowl. Bummer. So, we headed across the street to find some more ducks who could benefit from a treat.

On our way over, we happened to 'stumble' on the American Classic Regatta. There were several classic boats and ships that were preparing for a run out to the bay. One old boat was made in 1929! Of course, Kailey was most excited to see the boats with pirates, but not excited enough to get very close. So, we kept a tight hold and walked along the skinny pier up to a little light house/ light post/ Nice place for pictures?

By the way, we weren't supposed to feed the ducks there either, but fortunately, the boats and pirates were a great distraction!

Owen loved the rocks and didn't want to leave. Kailey decided she was done and wanted to make a quick exit. Sofie just thought everything was beautiful. I swear, she is the most positive, adventurous 17 year old I've ever met...we all could take a few lessons!
