eighty

The daddio turned 80. and so we, my brother seester and I decided WE wanted to do something with him, something that he would enjoy but convincing the Daddio he will like something is easier said than done. Seester put on her thinking cap and came up with this.

We are hiring a longboat for the day and going out on the canal. And we did . Unfortunately there were a couple of situations that arose and Auntie Ann couldn't come and so it really did end up being us. At firs the daddio was prickly and anything but relaxed but after a very short time he was loving it.

Getting sorted

hello

not looking relaxed or chill

But after a few minutes of these views and the cool breeze coming off of the water the daddio soon looked like this and it was wonderful.
