When the Stay at Home orders first went out, the kids made a list of fun activities they wanted to do, and kayaking was definitely on that list. Unfortunately, parks closed and grandparents weren't totally available (for safety reasons). However, guidelines are relaxing somewhat and we've crossed over into some closer grandparent contact.
That means we can kayak! The kids did double schoolwork on Monday so they were free to spend Tuesday playing. Of course the day began rainy, but the weather cooperated by late morning. They were picked up and headed to the lake!
Shannon and Mitch have both outgrown the yellow kayak. Still, it was a fun diversion on the water.
They both got in and did some COLD swimming. Grama had to rescue frozen children in the water!
Shan was tasked with starting the fire by rubbing sticks together...
Costco dogs and a picnic ensued! They pretty much had the park to themselves, except for the many wildlife sightings (groundhogs, deer, turtles, trout, and birds galore).
Mitch brought his magnet and did some unsuccessful magnet fishing. On the way home, they stopped for ice cream at Dry Falls. It was a delightful outing - good for body and soul!
