The Shipping Lanes

We went down to the river to play today and to watch
the Navy ships heading to the waterfront for Rose Festival.

Unfortunately we only got to see the last one, but there were other ships to watch too.

Ship #1


















Ship #2













Ship #3













It's really cool to be on the river when the ships go by, especially the really heavy ones, because they displace so much water (like ship #1). The water rushes away from the shore while the ship goes by and then rushes back in huge waves after it passes!

Friends met us there and the kids had fun playing in the water (despite the fact that it was only 58 and cloudy today), running around, and racing their RC cars and boats.






It was a fun afternoon!
