Connor’s been working on a raft and was keen to try it out on the water. We went down to Sage Beach this evening and I watched.
Stage 1: We arrive, and he discovers the wooden raft didn’t stay afloat when he was on it.
Stage 2: Undeterred, he grabbed a block of foam and confirmed it would stay up while he was on it.
Stage 3: Next was securing the foam to the raft and giving that a try
Success – at least once he got balanced.
Stage 4: Next it was back out again with a (homemade) paddle.
Stage 5: Pull the paddle apart and get some push on both sides to avoid spinning like a cork
Afterwards, I saw a chickadee in a pine tree on campus
