Hop, Skip and Jump

On Sunday, Greg and I took the boys to Canoe Creek for a little nature walk.  While we were there, Greg gave the boys a little rock skipping lesson.  Jacob was a fast learner, skipping rocks all over the water.  We are still waiting for Andrew's skills of finesse to come through...perhaps with maturity.  Actually, we hope a lot of things come through for Andrew with a little maturity!  Either way, skipping rocks or sinking them, the boys had fun.  What kid doesn't love playing in the mud and water and being given permission to throw rocks?!  


"Let me show you how it's done, Son."


A pro rock skipper in the making!


Excellent follow-through.


Andrew's technique, on the other hand, needs a little refining.  He approaches rock skipping with the same vigor that he uses to approach all aspects of his life - full force, head-on!


Andrew never wastes an opportunity to perform!


I believe he was both singing and conducting The Star Spangled Banner.


Making mud circles.
