I am a little behind on my posts because the last one was so large and it took so long to put together.

On the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, Mackenzie and I hit Lake Michigan with the kayaks.

So different that river or lake paddling. The swells and waves make for a much more interesting ride. It took us a few minutes to get used to the up and down motion, but then it just became fun.  Riding over the top or surfing them back in.

The water as pretty clear and we could often see the bottom some 20 feet down or more.  We rode from the beach near the Port Washington power plant to Lions Gorge park and back, all told about 5 miles.

As we headed back in it was fun and difficult to battle the waves as the crested near shore.  I started getting sideways and almost dumped right on shore.

The other item is the sand.  Sand is everywhere! We cleaned up put dry clothes on an went to Culvers for lunch.  A nice Sunday afternoon with my girl. What more could a dad ask for?
