Last night was the youth group's lock-in, a sleep-deprived end to youth week. This morning, we took 16 kids and 5 adults (plus 4 people from the rental company) kayaking.
I've never been kayakiing before. Dad's a fan, and can kayak from his back yard, where there's a tidal creek that feeds the Hampton River and ultimately, the Chesapeake Bay. We've even talked about him bringing his kayaks down here, but there's always been something else to do.
No more.
I called him today and told him to toss a kayak in the back of "my" truck when he brings it down here. I am in love.
If I still feel this way tomorrow, I may acquire a new hobby.
I love kayaking. It is wonderful. The only thing better is rowing a shell. My neighbor across the streets has four kayaks that she keeps at a marina near the Mississippi. She's offered to take me and I think I am strong enough to take her up on it!
