kayaking snacks...

Oh wow, am I behind on posting!  I guess time flies when you're having fun (and have house guests!).  A week ago last Sunday, we all went kayaking!  I knew we would be hungry once we were done, so I packed some snacks in our EasyLunchboxes...

 

Jeff and I shared the one on the left... cracked pepper Triscuits, NutterButter minis, a clementine, green grapes, cucumbers and ranch.  The kids had pretty much the same, but they had Wheat Thins instead of Triscuits and pepperoni instead of a clementine (I put enough pepperoni in theirs for all of us to share).

I got brave this trip and brought along my phone.  I snapped a few photos before securing it safely inside of a couple of zip lock bags to stay dry.

Here's my view for that afternoon...

 Clara had it pretty rough.... :-)

She had never kayaked before, so she elected to be towed behind Jeff's canoe in a tube.

The boy...

Alex had chosen kayaking as his specialty at camp this summer, so he knew what he was doing.  He can maneuver really well!!  He got tired of waiting for us novices to keep up, so he went on ahead and waited for us at the end.

Good thing we brought snacks!!  After about 2 hours of paddling, we were hungry!!

This river ends at Lake Michigan, so there is a great beach to play at after the float.  I couldn't believe that they still had that much energy... but they played for another hour or so in the lake/mouth of the river that evening!

I made them pose with our EasyLunchbox cooler...

Can you tell which one wanted to pose for this photo and which one didn't?  :-)

This photo should answer that question...
