Nanny visits, Hurray Part III

There is always a first time for everything and kayaking was it today. We took Nanny to one of our favorite parks that is right on the beach. They have a sprinkler water park and you can rent different types of kayaks. The kids begged to try one. Nanny and I weren't too sure about sending them out into the ocean by themselves! They gave us very large boundaries and I said lets stay very close! C got the hang of it immediately. The pole as you can see was a little big for M. They gave her smaller ones but she seemed to drift into the rocks along the coast. So, the guide told M that she could ride on the top of the "sit-apons" (type of kayak but have no idea how to spell it). Remember this is a one person boat. She told M to remain really still or she would tip the boat. On a side note - I was in regular clothes - not having planned for this adventure. Well, M and I were doing just fine until Nanny decided to take her try at it. M spun around to see Nanny get in the boat, and I know that you have already guessed it. She tipped the kayak. Yes, there we went into the ocean! C felt bad for me so he tipped his just to be part of the fun! Needless to say that was it for me! It was a great day, and a memory that I will treasure forever. Oh, by the way - Nanny did not get wet! Check out the other two blogs below about Nanny's visit - Part I and II

Kayaks!! Oh my goodness!! Allen and I shopped for Kayaks this weekend. We bought a house in walking distance of the lake, so we thought it would be a good way to get out on the water. There are several kayaking groups here in Nashvegas and probably many more on the island! We'll have to paddle together sometime!! :)
Love you guys!!

Kayaking...Michael would be proud! He can't wait until Cole gets old enough to go with him out on the lake. We've gone a few times together and hope to go a few more evenings before the summer ends. The lake is beautiful, but kayaking in the ocean...WOW!!
