As a family, we love to be near the water or on the water. Sean and I found an amazing kayak that holds three to four people. We purchased it and an inflatable boat. The kayak is for the two little boys, Sean, and myself, and the boat is for the three older children and our yorkie Holly who loves to go on adventures with us. The best part of the kayak is that it is inflatable and it fits into a nice backpack along with the pump and everything we need to be able to go on a fun adventure.
This was my first time kayaking and I loved it. The older kids have all been and love it but they only went on a one person kayak. This was definitely a time for them to learn to work together and a lot of laughs were had as they kept going in circles. Sean and I at times had to talk it out as I was learning how to do all of this. I just love how we work together as a family and to see God’s beautiful creation while just being in the middle of the lake. As we were relaxing and the kids played in the water, a swan hissed at me and was walking all around the people, I will say that swan was a little scary. I am definitely looking forward to going again.
