Water, at any depth, gives me the heebies. Baths are fine. Anything deeper than that, well…

So yesterday, we had the HONOR of going kayaking with our new friends Nick and Michelle. Kayaking at Ada Haden. The water is up to 45 feet deep.

Honestly, the slide into the water was actually kind of fun! Maintain your balance with your foot things, and use your oar to paddle. I can kayak now!!! But then the water started getting silly. White caps, people. WHITE caps. As hard as you try, there is no way to move your boat in the direction you want it to go.

But now, we can say that we’ve gone kayaking in treacherous waters!!! treacherous TRAVIS waters!!! 

It was beautiful weather…SO beautiful in fact, that the sun gracefully reflected off the waters and sizzled holes onto my shoulders. Like Jesus was looking at me through a magnifying glass and the sun just so happened to laser the first layer of skin off my shoulders. Blisters are on their way!!!!

So, word to the wise:

• Go kayaking!
• Don’t panic if your boat goes crrraaazzzyyy!!!
• wear a turtleneck and pants!!
