Time Together

The rain has finally stopped. It rained nearly every day in June and so we couldn't go kayaking too often. But, yesterday, despite it being a little chilly we all went. Sherri Creer is my kayaking buddy and she is always ready. Adrienne hasn't enjoyed kayaking very much and so this was her first time this year. It took some convincing to get her to come but once she got on the water she was hooked.



Chester Dam is a whimpy run but it is very relaxing and easy for beginners. That's where we like to take our new "victims."



When we started out it was just a bit cloudy but after awhile the weather grew warmer and warmer and it was absolutely perfect.






My favorite part was being with the girls. We wished Collin could have come but we couldn't convince him that being with all that estrogen was going to be fun. They giggled and smiled the whole way down. Katy and McKenna tried to do the "Pocahontas" most of the way. They have great balance.
When we go kayaking it is always with someone else. I think that is why I love it so much. Whether you're with a newbie, an old buddy, or family, kayaking builds good memories.

OK, so I 'll start with the wimpy run...and no Pocahontas for me... but I'm ALL over it, for sure! I've got to find a way up there!

btw, the adopting family has a blog for us to see and I thought you'd like to see pics of him and them. It's really sweet to see them together. Hard at first, but getting much easier. Its: haydenwilliam.blogspot.com and I have a link on my blog list from my blog.
