Washington State...kayaking !

So...here's our journey so far....Baker City, Kenniwick, Tucannon, Clarkston, Spokane, Republic, Trist, Anacortes, Soap Lake, Coeure D'Alene, Libby.


We have been doing some kayaking along the way. Very relaxing way to spend a half-day...out on the water....with spectacular views!

Getting Katie ready to go with her fancy life vest.

Ahh....this is the life.

Yes, I know, the water if crooked....only because the lake got a bit rough.

You doing okay back there Dad?

Coming back to the dock on a lovely morning.

Mr. Kayak

Here's our Katie when she gets bored. I put a shirt over her to protect her from the sun.

If you look closely, you'll see a deer and her baby. One of the serendipitys of our kayaking.

In central Washington among the scabbed out basalt rocks carved away by the ice floods. 
These are the views we love to see when we're kayaking.


...and these.

It started to get choppy. You can see our "wheels" wheels folded up in front.

...and here's how the kayak looks when the wheels are attached. It makes it so easy to get to the water (with all our gear inside as an added bonus).

Katie likes to get in as quick as possible so we make sure we are leaving her behind.

Okay, what's the holdup !!??

...down to the lake we go!

Hope you liked this one.
