Fun on the Water

One of the attractions of this vacation home that Liz and Amy found was that they had a whole bunch of boats that we could use.  Canoes and Kayaks, take your pick.  I love the design of this photo with two similar kayaks waiting at the dock.

Liz and I went to Wal-Mart and she bought these two inflatable water toys - one like a regular car inner tube, and the other larger and with a part that holds your legs up in the water.  What a photo, of Amy and Vivian and Gus, floating around in the lake!

Each day Liz and I would each take one of the fast kayaks and paddle the mile-long length of the lake and back, taking time to paddle slowly and investigate the nooks and crannies off to the sides of the lake.

Karen and Jessica came down from Rochester to spend a day with us on the lake, and they took to this canoe in a second and enjoyed their ride around the lake.

I love this shot of Liz in one of the fast kayaks slowly paddling on an absolutely smooth lake, showing almost a mirror image of her and the boat.

Here are Liz and Patrick returning from a tour of the lake by canoe.
