I don’t see, but I hear, the high-pitched decree…
that boating is drier, warmer and less shocking for the three….dumped into the waters of an Arctic degree.
(Sorry, no pics. Too busy catching downstream-bobbing flip-flops and wrestling currents threatening to tip our own kayak….thanks again, Aaron and Rach, for preventing hypothermia and hysteria in a certain 4-year-old…)
Boat trip, boat trip, what do you see?

You are too cute Emily...love your rhymes and and fun pictures!
You would make Dr. Seuss proud! Way to go! Such talent and good looks, too. I should hate you (see how I did that...)
The wait was well worth it! You have much more photogenic pictures than I do on our camera. Good thing I didn't do the post : )
Sadly, we missed this lovely Redfish adventure. But thanks for posting pictures from the trip. I felt like I was there. Hopefully next year!
P.S. I happened to notice that you have yet to visit NC on your map. WHAT?? With somewhere FREE to stay? Trust me, it'd be worth it! SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO (we'd even stay in a hotel if we took you to the Outer Banks or Smoky Mountains.). :)
