Missed the Boat

It was a dark and stormy afternoon at sea, and Skyla was busy making artwork in the sand. We weren't trying to go for a boat ride, don't worry. Felixstowe is the largest container port in the UK and one of the largest in Europe, if you didn't already know that. We see freight ships come and go all the time to "The Docks" as everyone calls it here. "Over down (yes over down) by The Docks," "You can hear The Docks from there," "Oh those are just lights from The Docks." The Docks get used as a reference anytime you need to know anything. Maybe sometime I'll put a picture up (fat chance), but for now, this is what I've got for you:

Always spells it the American way for me (it's MUM in England)
"D" for Dad, you guessed it

Skyla carefully selected those rocks to make her pretty design, and beckoned us over to have a look each time she made another ring. She signed BY SKYLA in the sand which I found particularly charming and therefore photo-worthy.  :)
