Boys at play

The ol’ complaint “There’s nothing to do” sure didn’t ring true last weekend in Anacortes, when the annual Waterfront Festival provided an eye-popping menu of options for kids looking to have some fun. In the first photo, a boy descends after reaching the summit of the climbing wall. Next, a boy watches with excitement as his newly-constructed boat has sails attached. The slicker-clad skipper in the next photo practically had the pool to himself Saturday morning when a little bit of rain kept crowds down. In the last shot, this young man worked out some frustrations with the hammer, slamming it down repeatedly until he’d “rung the bell” to the amusement of those gathered around him.
