Disappointment

This past weekend we were looking forward to crossing an activity off my 40 List.

However, with the heat we decided that we needed to postpone the activity to September or October.

I'm going to put it on my calendar ASAP.

Our plan was to drive to Hoboken and take the Ferry over to NYC. From there we were going to walk or take a water taxi to the Brooklyn Bridge. I have always wanted to walk over the bridge and spend sometime wandering the streets of Brooklyn. We were a little bummed but we also figured if we wait till the fall we would be able to go with our favorite NYC family.

So instead we hung out at our development pool. We packed a nice lunch and spent the whole afternoon at the pool. Going to the pool is getting a little more stressful because the kids don't want to swim with their bubbles on anymore. It's weird how stressful this is for me considering I was a lifeguard, but I guess it's different because it's my kids.

On Sunday, we were moving a little slow and we couldn't make up our mind on what to do. I know one person here is fine with doing nothing but there are three of us that want to do things when the other person is here.

Tommy suggested that maybe we clean off our kayak and take it down to the lake. I figured this would be a great idea because I have my heart set on taking our kayak to Maine. I think that since we've had the kids we used the kayak once.

We couldn't find all the straps so we wedged the kayak in my CRV and headed down the lake in separate cars.

Ballerina and I went around the whole lake. I think that someone was surprised that we were gone for so long. Look at Ballerina's oar. She thought to use one of her bigger shovels. She also helped paddle most of the way. I was impressed!! It was nice to have some quiet time with her.

I forgot how much I love being out on the kayak. I usually don't wear my life jacket but I am trying to be a good role model.

Tommy and Speed Racer heading out on their venture.

Tommy did most of the paddling.

Speed Racer just told him to go faster.

This is a nice size lake.

This is our other boat that we've had for four years. Tommy has used it once. Ballerina and I thought we should get Tommy to work on the boat so two of us could go out in the kayak and the other two could use this boat.

Speed Racer sporting his new shades too.

You can also see how the kayak was wedged inside my CRV.

My goal this week is to get some more straps or find the old ones!!!

Hope you had a nice weekend!!!
