We have spent quite a bit more time at the lake this year, enjoying the hot summer days kayaking and swimming with friends.  It's been a lot of fun and makes me wonder why I haven't taken advantage of this large body of water more often.  Yesterday we opted to try something new and rented a couple of paddle boards.  They were a TON of fun.  The kids were on them for the entire 4 hours we rented them minus a 15 minute lunch.  I was surprised at how easy it was to balance and paddle and I will have to admit I had just as much fun as the kids.  I kind of want one, but I am not going to tell them, because they may just talk me into it.....And if you haven't tried it you should!
