Ashore.

Kids had the answer before I'd finished marking up my iPad with step 1.

Another construction where you just have to shake your head and ask "How on earth...?"

Ashore. Took me two looks over two days, but 100% now.

Love it.

I love all this baseball talk after this week's MMM.
Don't think I didn't notice that!

Wow. Got steps 1 and 2 quickly but then stopped swimming to shore. I’ll keep looking. @Wendy Walker i might have to ask you for a nudge ;)

This just figures…last week was super easy for me, and this week is rated 1 star, and I have no idea. Well, an idea based on the hint, but nothing more. Will try sleeping on it.

I would imagine playing pepper would raise safety concerns these days. Last time I played as a kid cars didn't have seat belts.
