Kayaking

We had a great time today on the MAD RIVER doing some kayaking with our new kayaks. We were hesitant to take the girls, not knowing how they would do (especially Avery). So, we just decided that we'd give it a go this time to see how things went and then we'd know if we should take them or not in the future. Surprisingly, the both were great. Avery was a little whiny at first, but she calmed down once we started going and in between Daddy feeding her puffs and giving her different toys to play with. We took our Bebe Pod with us so she could sit in that without falling forward and under the front part of the kayak......it really worked out well. She started getting cranky again towards the end, but eventually fell asleep and Derek took her out of the seat and put put her on her back in between his legs. 10 minutes after that we were to our destination. It ended up being a 5 mile trip. Allie was also a trooper. She put up with me getting her wet and hitting her head with the paddle quite a few times! She did say that she would ride with Daddy next time!
