If they only had an outboard
We’re at that point in the summer when it feels like these long, crammed-full-of-activity summer days have always been here and yet September is still too far away to bring those Gather Ye Rosebuds As Ye May, For Time Is Fleeting kind of pangs about summer’s end. It’s a good feeling.
Here’s a slice of our summer, and my post for Best Shot Monday.
And before you lift the phone to call child and family services about these unattended children floating around in a boat, here’s the next one in the series:
Rats! Foiled again. Though they did their very best to make a clean getaway.
Hope you had a chance to read and pass on (or post on your own blog) this information from WhyMommy. Thank you.

Oh my, that is just adorable! Looks like they were having a good time being so independent on the wide open water.

Ah Look at your boys! I can’t wait until my boys are old enough to do things like that together!
SO cute!

What a perfectly idyllic summer day! They look like they are having a grand time. Love the red boat, and I must say Will really looks like he knows what he is doing!

That’s such a great picture!! You should DEFINITELY frame the first one. It’s such a boyhood image.
Thanks for stopping by my “home” today.

That is a GREAT shot. They are so adorable!
Is it wrong that I never would have wondered why they were floating around without an adult?

What a fun picture? That boat is childhood, perfected. Who wouldn’t want a bright red boat? And one that’s shaped like a box?! I love it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Love how the color of red jumps out! And I feel just as Cari does…I didn’t even wonder about them out there without an adult. Oops!
Thanks for sharing the breast cancer information as well. I have posted it on my site too.
