Young and Salty

We were on our good friends’ boat the other day with their 3 children, our two boys, and two additional cousins.  As we watched all of the children laugh and chill on the bow while we made our way around the back shore of Gloucester, he said, “I love that these kids are all growing up so salty.”

This is what they had to say….

I slipped in the muddy flat and covered my entire leg with sludge.   Got eaten alive by mosquitoes.

But it was worth it for this.
