Kayaking

Last year Kirk and I made the best purchase of our lives. We were both working and had good jobs and had come to the conclusion that we wouldn't be having kids anytime soon. So we bought a few things for fun, nice watches, a laptop, etc. but most importantly kayaks. We had a blast with them last year, but have been really busy and haven't been able to take Kirsten out until now. And she loved it, the whole 3 minutes she was on our laps for pictures! She held onto my paddle while I paddled and just giggled, it was the best!We also had a lot of fun playing in the water. It was surprisingly warm, I guess not surprisingly because it's Utah Lake, but we were surprised. Kirk and I went out quite a ways where there were a lot of waves from the breeze. It was really fun. Until Kirk tipped and fell into the lake then right as he pulled himself into the kayak a boat drove by making big waves that knocked him back into the water. While I was busy laughing, Kirk's kayak was busy filling with water. We quickly paddled against the wind and waves to a nearby rock island. Then the lightening started and we quickly paddled ashore. (Kirsten was with Brett and Chelsey on shore). We love our kayaks and think you should all come play on the lake with us!
