Today we took Kenny to an art exhibit that featured a DIY area for playing with some bits and pieces of beach junk.

We made an outrigger canoe, of course. Kenny selected the mast, I made the frame, and Mari made the sail. Kenny then added the green bit of beach glass.

The finished product. Photographed with an actual camera, I might add.

My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.
