I'd Rather (Not) Be Boating

On our Baby Bucket List since last summer, the North Fork Meanders which flow into Payette Lake were calling to us all weekend. On our return trip, we decided to take the chance and load the girls into a tandem kayak for a short paddle.

Step 1: Bundle up in waterproof suits

Step 2: Life jackets... this is where things start to go south. Except for Daddy. He still seems to be having a grand time.

Step 3: Paddle. 

Step 4: Think about having fun

Step 5: Beach party

A bit of rain and a quick paddle back to North Beach, and we were able to strip those stupid pfd's and get on with our drive home. I'm sure it won't be long before we try again. In the meantime, we'll seriously consider designing our own infant pfd's without the multitude of design flaws that are present in all that we've tested so far.
