Dick’s sporting goods was running a special, so we went and bought another kayak for donovan on sunday. <\/P>
\n
Yesterday evening we went out in the Kayak’s as a family – I loved it. Nature is beautiful, it’s amazing the God created it just for us. Someday we’ll get to enjoy it the way He intended. But in the mean time:<\/P>
\n
Here Donovan, who hates to do anything physical, went out and paddled his own kayak around on the lake for almost an hour. Bella just sat was a quiet little mouse as she often is without her brothers to antagonize her – and Braeden, miracle of all Miracles – sat still for almst an hour!!!<\/P>
\n
We saw a turtle, a fish net, a lure, a loon as big as braeden (in fact, we chased it around the lake – and at one point got within 10 feet of it – they are HUGE – and they are faster than fish @ swimming). We caught an old stinky shoe too.<\/P>
\n
There really seems to be very little that we do as a family, because I get bored really easy when doing anything the children like to do – but I think we have finally found something that we can all enjoy.<\/P>
\n
The birds, the peepers, the loons at dusk, the dead crayfish we found on the dock – it was all so amazing, and more than anything, we got to spend time together as a family without arguing, or computers, or books, or ipods or television – just back to nature.<\/P>
\n
Despite a rocky start where I couldn’t for the life of me get the kayak on my little sleeper car, things turned out all right. <\/P>
\n
It’s probably the best time I’ve had in a long, long time. Did I mention, there was no fighting! \ud83d\ude42<\/P>
