Setting Sail

 Ahoy there mateys! Just wanted to jog your memory again with showing you some of the toy boats you played with as a kid!

 Whether in the pool of the bath tub (bath tub for us) these were some of the toys that brought you the most happiness!

 Well, that and an Aquaman action figure.

Finally we come to another one of my mom's (and maybe yours too) ideas to make a popsicle raft to float through the ditches when it rained.

A great idea for kids who got a reason to be outside in the pouring rain having a great time and for the parent who's going crazy with a kid in the house and wants them out!

We'd race our rafts down the streets (since we didn't have ditches) but in Mississippi when we did, it was nervous to see your raft go under the ditch, wondering if you'd see it come out the other side or not. Sometimes if it was stuck in there not too deep we'd get a stick to push it through but if it stopped in the right spot under the driveway you were screwed!

Anyway, just some fun memories for the day to share!
