Thankful Day 11 - Kayaks

Chris and I hefted the kayaks from the lake over to the river a couple of weeks ago.  It was the end of a long day of working in the yard.  When he said, "Let's go kayak, " I didn't realize that he meant on the river and not the lake.  We had to climb through brush as tall as Christopher and over a fallen down barbed-wire fence to get to the small "beach" area where we launched.

I am glad he suggested the idea.  It was a peaceful, meandering ride down the St. Vrain River.  Except for when I sideswiped the left bank.  Aghghg, watch out for those branches!  Whew.  Ok, back to the peaceful paddling.  We reached a good place to stop, climbed out of our kayaks, carried them across the road to the lake, and set back in the water again.  Kayaks are good.
