Kayaking

September 29- October 6, 2009
The sunlight woke us up at 6:00am and we went downstairs and enjoyed a perfect cup of coffee on a perfect deck at a perfect island and a perfect setting. I love it here. I just need to figure out how to slow down time so that we can enjoy every moment.
The kids roused at about 7am and joined us outside and immediately noticed the 2 kayaks that came with the place. Emily and Christopher wasted no time and dragged them into the water and began exploring. Upon their return Nicholas jumped into the one Emily was using and raced Chrisopher up and down the channels until their shoulders ached. Elizabeth was more than a little nervous having never been on a kayak before. It took her a few tentative moments and then she became determined to master the craft. Her confidence began to soar with every paddle stroke.
While kayaking was the morning activity, the afternoon was filled with exploring the island, biking and unfortunately homework.
