This time, however, we decided to do something a little different and rent a motor boat. Not a very fast one, but it's still a completely different thing than kayaking. Oh, it was fun! Don't get me wrong. Just different. You aren't powering the boat yourself, with your own energy. Nothing very peaceful about the sound a boat engine. It sure was a blast creating waves and then turning to ride over them again, though!
And check out our awesome hats. We bought these hats at a festival at that park last year. They are hand made, great for sunny days, keep us shady without over heating... they "breathe" nicely. Here we are, on the boat.
Of course, we had to let Maya have a turn at driving the boat!
Maya had a BLAST. She loves the water, she is such a fish. Swimming, boating, she even likes kayaking.
After that, we went swimming in the lake. It was a hot day, and there's nothing like being able to veg in the sun and take a refreshing dip in the water on a hot day. Maya is such a fish in the water. She even found some really tiny shells in the sand.
I love summer. This is what we do, and I love being outdoors. Winter is rough for me, because I hate being cold, but I love being outside.
Oh, and in other news, check out these awesome green beans that we grew. They are HUGE!
Can't wait for the tomatoes to be ready. I'm thinking about picking a few while they are still green to make fried green tomatoes! YUM!
