It's a hot summer Sunday afternoon. What better is there to do than to spend some time with my grandson and do some long overdue paddling. After all, it did rain for 13 successive weekends this spring, raining out quite a few soccer games. Finally, there's a little time to enjoy the outdoors.

Since he's now taller than both his mother and grandmother, it's time for Dominic to paddle the 12' yellow kayak. Pardon the picture of the phone case.

 We decide that a little exploring is in order, so we head up the river out of the main part of the lake to see what's there. |
We head up the river quite a ways, but I'm guessing it will take at least another 15 minute to reach the upper lake, which will add a total of 30 minutes to our outing. We opt to not wear ourselves out today. |

| Dominic suggests we pull up to one of the islands to take a swim. We take a look a several potential landing spots and find one to our liking. |
 |
| I have to make this photo extra large so you can actually see Dominic swimming in the water. The water in the lake is very shallow and we had to swim out that far just to avoid standing. |
We travelled 4.61 miles in 2h18m, but we stopped for a 30 minute break so our average speed was 2.6mph. The good news is that we made it home in plenty of time for dinner.
