A Day in the Life of Boat Refitting: Through the Eyes of the Kids
Ep 27 RV or Sailboat? which do the kids prefer? - https://youtu.be/4G9zDi9eOok
Ever wondered what a day in the life of boat refitting looks like? Well, today's your lucky day. We handed the camera over to the kids, Abigail, Liberty, and Katie, to document their perspective on our boat refitting journey. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride of insights, chaos, and a sprinkle of hilarity.
The day kicks off with a glimpse into the bustling boatyard, where we're greeted by the missionary helpers joining us for the day. Abigail takes the lead, offering a tour of our floating home, showcasing everything from the kitchen to our ever-growing to-do list. Along the way, she shares snippets of her life, from birthday announcements to snack cravings, giving us a peek into the world of a boatyard kid.
As the day unfolds, we witness the kids tackling various tasks, from screwdriver mishaps to heartfelt reflections on boat life versus RV life. Amidst the chaos, there's a sense of camaraderie and determination as they work alongside us, each contributing in their own unique way.
But it's not all work and no play. We catch glimpses of sibling banter, donut debates, and even a philosophical discussion on the merits of boat living versus RV living. It's a reminder that amidst the chaos of boat refitting, there's always room for laughter and fun.
As the day draws to a close, we reflect on the importance of involving the kids in the refitting process. While some may question the necessity of certain tasks, like sanding teak or peeling paint, for us, it's about more than just getting the job done. It's about instilling a sense of pride and ownership in our boat, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
So, as we wrap up another day in the boatyard, we're reminded of the beauty of teamwork, the joy of shared experiences, and the magic of seeing the world through the eyes of our children.
Until next time, fair winds and smooth sailing!
