Fishing tournament

The fishing tournament is always a hit at WLYC.  Although for our family, Shawn was the only one participating. Molly had cheerleading that night and Jack and Matthew were helping to run the event. They were such great helpers assisting the little kids when they got fish and helping them put on bait and hooks. It was a beautiful night. Charlie got a fish before the tournament started and Shawn caught got two.  I bet if Thomas were here he would've won the whole thing!

Another exciting day...

The day started bright and early at 9 AM.

Matthew and Shawn had to retape  the hole in their boat as they were taking on water.

Good thing Nani and Grampa had duct tape!

Another great start!

Jack and Molly had to sail without a tiller extension!  Hard to do in high winds.

Shawn liked making faces in his trophy.

A wonderful experience for all!

WLYC Sunfish Regatta

They have been talking all summer how they were going to race together in the regatta this year. Matthew and Shawn and Jack and Molly or each a team.

Rigging their boats.

And they're off!

Both teams had excellent starts.  Matthew and Jack remembered their racing skills like it was yesterday....... Even though it has been three or four years since they have raced.

Here they are discussing all the drama that happens out there.

It was so windy Molly got blisters from holding the main sheet. Luckily she found someone to lend her some gloves.

Katie and Jordan were on Jack and Molly's heels each race.

Another great start!

This time both boats where neck and neck.

The races took a long time…… Hmmm, Molly, wonder what you're doing?

Matthew and Shawn got first in two of the races.

Molly and Jack's favorite number seemed to be fifth. We will see what happens tomorrow.

Swim meets and summer fun!

The summer is flying by, and the kids sure are having fun! Here are some of the highlights....

  Molly and Shawn's first swim team meet was at a beautiful pool on the water in Falmouth.

Tons of fun at WLYC with their cousins.  

Molly was doing so well at sailing she was invited to join the opti race team.  Nick has been her instructor this year.

Shawn decided to give it a try too.   

Tubing with friends is always a thrill.  We love the Kenney's boat and neighborhood!

Back to the club for their first home met against Hyannis.

Molly looks nervous....stop biting those nails!!!

Shawn dominated in his events, although this race Brendan is gaining ground!

Molly's buddies.....Lilly, Jordan, and Oona.

These are two of the three firsts Shawn collected....wow!

Molly loves the swim meets.  They are her favorite days of summer.

Jack and Matthew were too old to compete, but we're great supporters!

The boat finally had gas so the boys could take us out fishing.

It was nice to sit back and have someone else drive and dock!  

It was a beautiful night!
