Sailboat kayaking


 Noah has this genius friend who is full of creative ideas and experiments.  Mike says he's like the Benjamin Franklin of the 21st century.  I think he's sort of a cross between Ben Franklin and MacGyver. Here's Mr. Franklin explaining to Mike how he made a sail for our kayak out of an old sheet, duct tape, an old broom handle, an old pole from our swing, and some string.

There's Noah sailing the kayak on the creek.

 Sarah just used the new paddles I bought this morning at a garage sale.  No more paddling with shovels and brooms for us!

 Noah and Ben Franklin's little brother had a good time paddling together.

 He and Sarah mostly argued.  They both wanted to be the boss of the operation.

 These two turned out to be too heavy to sail the ship together.  They were sailing along, taking on water, when MacGyver turned around and asked Noah, "Are we sinking?" and Noah replied, "Well...yeah, a little."

 Noah sacrificed himself for the good of the sailing team by bailing out of the boat.

 Of course he had to jump in the creek.  He always does.
