Do You Canoe?

WE DO! Papa has a new canoe. Who better to try it out than his grandsons! Today we ventured out to nearby Monument Lake for the canoe's first trip on the open waters.

Lifejackets, check.
Oars, check.
Quick safety course about canoe rules, check.
2 little boys who were VERY excited to go out with Papa in his canoe, check.

In all, we spent close to 2 hours paddling around the lake. When it looked like the rain was setting in and we decided to pack up, Luke and Reid were very disappointed to wrap up their adventures. Our outdoorsy boys could have stayed at the lake all day! Perhaps canoe trips with Papa might become a weekly outing this summer...

Pushing away from the shore.

Headed out to the middle of the lake...

Canoe paddles make great lightsabers.

"...But I don't want to get out of the canoe.
I'm having too much fun."
