Amanda, Sara and I took our kayak adventure today. The trip started out rough, as it was pouring down rain. We put on our rain ponchos and best rain gear and braved the weather anyway...
No, I didn't actually wear this...but I do look cute in it dontcha think?
Here's Amanda...who at this moment was VERY glad that Denise stopped and picked up ponchos!!
Here I am in my kayak...I loved it!
Amanda...looking like a pro.
Sara, Amanda and I...
Tons of beautiful scenery...
Throughout the second half of the trip I commented that I seemed to be "sinking"...and my kayak was filling with water. Amanda and I steered our kayaks off to the side and I attempted to climb out of mine onto the shoreline. I DID get out of the kayak but not without getting completely drenched from the waist down. I tried to tip the kayak to the side to drain some water out...and then promptly let my kayak drift away. Amanda did her best to hang onto both oars, and steer my kayak back to me...upstream. It was quite a sight. I paddled a bit longer and realized I still had a problem, so I steered back to the shoreline again. And got drenched...again. Then we saw a young moose!! It would have been fascinating to watch if I weren't so concerned with A) my sinking ship and B) the fact that I didn't know where the mama moose was.
You may be wondering where Ron, our trusty tour guide was when all this was taking place. He was right....about....here...
actually, he was much farther than that. We were wondering if he was coming back for us or not. Finally, he reappeared and switched kayaks with me. He drained about 10 gallons of water out of the hull of my kayak! Next time I'll try not to pick the kayak with the HOLE IN IT. No wonder I was sinking. Oh well, at least Amanda has plenty of stories to share at work tomorrow at my expense!!
At the end of our trip, we had a catered luau dinner waiting for us. Sooooo good!
festive decor....
So, Amanda....when's our next adventure?
