So many people we know spend Memorial weekend at the lake. We've never been able to do that before. Mainly, because pastors don't get Sundays off, so it's a little hard to go away for a long weekend. Also, we've also never had a boat. Now that we have enough kayaks to go around, we decided to spend each day this weekend going to a different Kentucky lake. Add in the day off we had last week for Election Day and we hit four lakes last week. (On a side-note -- why do we have this day off of school? Having 4 kids home with me makes me much, much less likely to go vote. Just sayin').
We went to Cave Run Lake, Greenbo Lake, Mill Creek Lake, and Buckhorn Lake. There are so many small lakes around Kentucky! All of these were less than 2 hours away. So nice! The kids loved Buckhorn because it had a nice swimming beach. Chris and I loved Greenbo the most because it has a no wake policy which makes kayaking so much easier! Facing the waves is fun for a little while (and the kids love them), but the kids also wear out much faster and we don't get to kayak as long. A couple of times we had to tow Sam and Isabella behind our boats, but most of the time they were able to keep up with the rest of us. Sam is actually a surprisingly good paddler!
Paddling...
Being towed....
Working hard and relaxing....
Some of us may have been dreaming about sliding down the slides on those houseboats!
Fun outside of the kayaks!
It was a great weekend. We had a ton of time outside enjoying beautiful lakes and we wore ourselves out!
