This is something I have been wanting to do for some time and finally made it happen. With the water so low it was quite a hike to get the boats to the water but we did it. We got all the girls in their kayaks.
Then loaded on the paddleboard and Liam was terrified to get on because he was afraid it would tip over with him on it. So as you can imagine he wasn't thrilled when I picked him up and put him on the board and pushed us out into the water.
Once he realized we weren't sinking or tipping over he loved it. We decided to try and paddle to the end of the lake on the east side.
Not to far back we decided we were hot and needed a swim break. We all took turns jumping off the kayaks and paddleboards including Liam. We did that a couple times before making it to the east end.
We found mini caves and cool rock formations that everyone wanted pictures with.
When we got to the end we got off and did some exploring and only then realized that it wasn't actually the end but it went back further back. All the girls arms were tired so that was the end for us.
It was so beautiful and peaceful. I hope that I will remember these moments and try next year to get out more often. I'm always grateful for kids that are up for an adventure and go with my crazy ideas.
