About 16 years ago, Ron overturned a kayak getting into it. I was not about to risk that at my advanced age! (He and I both were observers and cheer-er-on-ers this time!<br /><br />The blue one is Kati's "sit on top" kayak. She chose it because it has better stability, it is easier to steer, and some of her kayaking friends have that style. <br /><br />I love Peter's smile too! Ryan took several of the younger children who dared not venture out alone. Paul (2) shouted, "Look at me! I in a boat with Daddy!" <br /><br /><i>Melting . . . </i> Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596988245744679027.post-21038557461735681322017-10-26T23:03:08.207-04:002017-10-26T23:03:08.207-04:00It was delightful to share such enjoyment!

It’s just so much more stable than a canoe and great to be low and close to the water. It’s not as difficult as one might think, though that blue one might be a titch concerning. Ha! That is such a lovely spot for camping and I see that you have some foliage to look forward to soon. Your family was having a great time. Love the smile on your grand’s face as he is nestled in with his dad. And the parting photo? So cute!
