I wonder a lot about what Kaylee may be sacrificing while I (We) are doing what we want to do. This sailing trip is obviously my dream that Danielle has bought into and Kaylee is here because she has to be. While I truly believe that what Kaylee gains by being on this trip will make her a better, more assured person with a huge cache of experiences I also admit Kaylee puts up with a lot. Getting sea sick on rolly passages, missing her friends, being around adults all the time and not enough time with other kids her age etc.
I was overjoyed with both our friends and Kaylee’s response for her 8th birthday. To be fair, she has been celebrating all month. My parents came down the first week of May, Danielle’s parents last week, friends from Tallahassee also came through and all contributed to her birthday month! However on the actual day we found that none of her kid friends were around. We texted and called Vagabond and Pepper and ran into Exit Stage Left and all agreed to attend Kaylee’s birthday party.
As we sailed from Cane Garden Bay to Leverick Bay to meet up with the other boats, Dan on Vagabond was busy baking a chocolate cake while Trent and Monica (Pepper) and Todd and Rachelle (Vagabonds guests) and Tony and Deb (Exit Stage Left) all put together small gifts, cards and fun things for Kaylee to open. It was quite a party and while I am eternally grateful to the friendship that our traveling friends have provided us on Aqua Vida I am also sure that Kaylee felt that this was one of her best Birthdays ever!
Thanks to everyone that contributed over the month and especially on Kaylee’s day!
Cheers
