One More Kayak -- Sunday Snapshot

On Labor Day, we took the kids to the lake so Oak could take them kayaking.  I stayed ashore taking pictures and reading my book--Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson.  Sounds a lot more relaxing than it was since they were only out on the water 1 hour of the 4 we were at the park~11-3 which my book calls poolside lighting because one might as well sit by the pool instead of try to get great photos in the harsh light.  But I took photos anyway (too much of our life happens between 11-3 not to) and now you get to see them...some of them.

 We have inflatable kayaks--great for storage, tedious for set-up.

 I'm ready, Daddy!

 On the way out.

 Cannot miss his bright life jacket!

 Finally all set!

 On the way back!  (I read while they were out of sight.)

 Ambrosia, aaah!

 Can we go swimming?

 Not yet.

 I don't know what these are.

 My flip-flop is dirty!  So I'll take it off and walk around barefoot!

 Now you can go swimming.

 Time to pack up.

 I almost scolded someone else's child for going too far--oh, IKEA birthday vest, not my son!

Where is Daddy with the car?  I'm tired!  Maybe next year we'll have a third kayak and I'll go out on the water...or maybe not.  Then I would have to paddle myself!  Oak's kayak will fit two adults.  Maybe we can leave the kids with someone and go out together someday.  I would enjoy that though I would have trouble leaving my camera behind (and safe!)
