Fun And A Half!

We went to visit Cyclin' Granny and the Mr at their cottage today. We got there shortly before Prince Charming, Lisa and Mikki arrived. We yakked for a bit, then CG and I went out in the kayaks while. PC, Lisa and Nikki went out in the rowboat fishing. CG and I paddled around and figured out how things work, then took a little break.

Then CG decides to try, with a little encouragement from me, to try getting back into the kayak out in deep water. I told her it was a good idea in case she ever fell in and there was no skirt on the kayak. She had intended to try eskimo rolls, but felt she may need more time to work up to it. Instead she bruised and battered herself for over half an hour. I too was injured, my abdomen was absolutely cramping from laughing at, oops, I mean with her. Exhausted, we went in for burgers.

So the two Misters took the kayaks out after lunch, no laughing and choking, a dignified tour around the bay.

While they were away, CG, PC and I took the rowboat out into the lake and did some emergency preparedness training. We tipped 'er. Then we righted 'er and tipped 'er again, laughing, snorting, guffawing, hooting and hollering. The three of us had a blast. Then Mikki decided she'd like to join us in the deep water, so she came in for a while, then played in the poor waterlogged row boat. Turns out we were out there for almost two hours.

The Misters had taken the oars in with them, so we ended up pushing the boat all the way back, it seemed weirdly heavy. Turns out the innards were full of water, good thing she has a drain.

We all headed out separate ways. By the time I got home I had a serious case of jelly legs.

All in all an awesome time!
