Lamb Chops at sea!

On the kibbutz, right on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, there is an old fishing boat. I call it the pirate ship, even though it's highly doubtful that pirates ever existed on the Sea of Galilee. But whatever. The other day, I took the Lamb Chops out to play Ship.

Though it's difficult to see, all of the Lamb Chops are in this picture!

As soon as we got on the ship, Mommy LC ran out and planted herself up on the bow. No matter how hard I tried to persuade her, she wouldn't come down the whole time we were out there. Oh well. I guess she's our figurehead!

Football LC naturally took on the role of captain, especially since it meant she got the costume.
You there! Scrub the poop deck!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! POOP DECK! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Captain Football LC is not amused and glares from her perch at Original LC.
You dare laugh at Captain Football Lamb Chop, you scrub the poop deck!

Grumble grumble. Original LC thought the poop deck was much funnier when she didn't have to scrub it. She plots mutiny as she works!

Meanwhile, Christmas LC and Baby LC play on the boat and enjoy the breeze, which was very strong that day.

And where's Young and Agile LC? She found herself a little cubby where she could sit and look out at the sea and avoid the orders of the scurvy Captain Football Lamb Chop.

So, all of the Lamb Chops enjoyed their field trip out of the room. Their time here is almost up!

  1. Hey, now, if pirates could exist after the Great Flood, and be captained by F. Murray Abraham, surely we cannot rule out piracy on the Lake of Galilee.

    Edit: When I signed in to post this, it said something about my "old blogger account," but since my mind was on pirates, I first read it as "ye olde blogger account."
