First Kayaking Trip of the Season!

It's kayaking season!  I feel like this statement should be followed by a dance.  I've been waiting all winter and on Saturday we loaded up the truck and headed for the river.  The whole family was excited.

Usually we kayak in the late evening after work but morning kayaking offered many great wild life viewing opportunities.  We saw three river snakes, fish, Blue Herons, ducks and a pair of nesting Bald Eagles.  JAC sat happily in the bottom of Jess' kayak eating handfuls of goldfish crackers and helping paddle.  He also left a trail of crackers in the water for the fish to eat.

We enjoyed a lovely morning out on the water.  When we returned to shore we at a quick picnic lunch and loaded up.  We were in a hurry because we had great tickets to an afternoon Nationals Baseball Game and didn't want to miss a minute of it.  We were taking Memorial Day Weekend by storm.
