It's the journey...

This is how Zach looks each day when we leave the boat lately.


Yes, those are TWO backpacks on this little 4 year old body. And they are filled to the brim with, well, everything. Books, rocks, gnomes, socks, extra clothes, snacks, gold coins, pencils, notebooks, dolls, wool, needle & thread, rope, compass, binoculars, buttons, you name it. He now needs a a good 1/2 hour warning before we head out the door to ready his packs. And he really does carry them, never once has he passed them off to me.

"You know me, I always need to pack," he says with a sly smile.

"Where are you going pal?" I ask.

"That doesn't matter mommy. As long as I am ready for anything."

Oh yes, backpacks! I remember that phase of my *own* life even. What a cutie!

This is such a boy thing. My youngest has a little side pack that he slings over his shoulder. He loves to pack it with paper, crayons, and assorted stuff to make trips easier.
