Kayaking

I don't have any pictures for this post, but want to document it anyhow. This weekend, Kyle and Emily went on their first kayak ride. We did our Father's Day a week late and Jeff decided he wanted to kayak. So we headed down to PB take the kids kayaking in the bay where the water would be much calmer than we are accustomed to kayaking (out in the ocean in La Jolla). We rented a double kayak, but they configured it such that Jeff was in the normal back seat with a seat for Kyle put in just in front of him. Then I was in the normal front passenger seat with a seat put in for Emily in front of me. The kids had a blast looking for fishies and animals. We saw a sea lion. In fact, we saw a whole family of sea lions swimming and basking in the sun. We saw a lot of pelicans and other sea birdies. We saw many boats and some pirate boats too! And we saw doggies on kayaks too. :-) Kyle had a good time taking turns paddling with Jeff. Emily just liked the ride and keeping a look out for sea life and wasn't so much interested in paddling. :-) This was pretty momentus because they were both reticent at first when we told them we were going kayaking. But once out on the water, they were both fine and had a great time.
