Fishtail Braid

My oldest daughter loves to play with hair ... her own, her sister's, her friend's, mine! When we were on the ferry from Hatteras to Ocracoke, the girls went to the top deck. I stayed down on the bottom. Every time I looked up at the girls, my oldest had a different hair style!

When she was over the other night, she had her long, pretty hair in fishtail pigtails ... and of course, she wanted to braid mine. Not one to pass up someone pampering me (however small) ... I let her.

I need to have her teach me how to do this braid. I always wear my hair up at work so that it doesn't get in the way. Even hastily done, as in this picture, it's a pretty cool braid!
