Kayaking

Last Thursday we went kayaking. We can't remember the last time we got the kayak wet so it was time! I packed a pasta salad and a couple apples because I always get hungry out on the water.
Jim, along with Scotty's help devised a way to tow it with the trike. We're within walking distance of Bentsen State Park although we usually ride over. That's what you see in the first picture




It looks like he's towing a truck, but that's in the background!


the day was overcast and a slight breeze was blowing


The trees at Bentsen State Park are greening out









I'm told these buildings were once used by the Boy Scouts
On the way home I was able to get this shot of Jim towing. If we do this often he'll build up some leg muscles!
We didn't paddle long, but it was fun making our way through the resaca. We ended up against the wind on our return trip. According to the GPS we we're doing about 3 mph but that was with both of us paddling with all our might! I'm glad the sun wasn't out, it would have been a scorcher.
Once back onshore we had a bite to eat and headed for home. It was a short but sweet trip.
For dinner I fixed meatloaf patties, mashed potatoes, gravy and steamed green beans. we both ate well.
TV watching after dinner dishes were done and we were in bed just after 2200
