Kayaking in Cedar Creek




Today was a very fun day! I woke up early and put my kayak in my car. It was my kayak's maiden voyage. My mom,dad and I drove to my brother's and his wife, and two sons came with us as we went kayaking and canoeing.

My brother and his family had been down Cedar Creek before so we followed them. What fun! True, I was the first one to flip over in my kayak but my brother helped me drain the water and get back in.

It was a three hour paddle but it was easy and fun. (Do you hear Gilligan's music? a three hour tour...)

We stopped for lunch and had subs and soda on a small patch of sand. It was really beautiful. I really wanted to take pictures as we were paddling but after my first flip over I didn't want to chance it with my newly found camera (which, Thank God, was in a ziploc bag).

The weather was perfect partly sunny, with clouds just when we needed them. I am glad that I finally got to take the new kayak out - now I will feel better when I take it out myself.

Thank you Joe Joe for the great day!
