Nothing like kayaking on a windy day

After much debate about the weather, which has been very rainy lately, Heather and I decided to go for it and take the boys kayaking. What an adventurous workout of a mistake that was! Things were cloudy, but calm, as we headed out. We just about got to the little beach before deciding to head back. That is when things got tricky. The wind was pushing us back with every paddle forward, creating little waves in Oquirrh Lake. At first it was comical, but kayaking with a tired four year old as a partner and an eager-to-help 2 year old on my lap is no easy feat in the wind. Poor Heather, in her second trimester, wasn't having an easy time either. We stayed close to the shore and battled the wind for what seemed like forever before finally making it back to the dock. It was exhausting. we finished with a bit of play at Heather's house before the boy and I walked to soccer practice.
