Pocahontas State Park

 After a week of rain, it was time to get outside!!  Danny got the kayak ready, I packed a lunch and we were off to Pocahontas State Park.  We went there once to rent a canoe, but the kids were little and we didn't venture very far.  This time we went the long way and I was surprised by how big the lake was!  We didn't even make it to the end.  It was a perfect summer day to get outside on the water and soak up the sun!

 Look at those clouds!

 Elise & I were together and we took turns paddling while the other soaked their feet.  It was harder to paddle, but it felt SO good!

After paddling for an hour, the kids said, "Can we swim?"  Well, we didn't realize it was forbidden until we got back to the dock, so we said...sure!  It was only 4 ft deep where we were at and the kids thought this was the coolest thing ever.  Even Danny got in (and managed to get back in a canoe without flipping it!).  This was my favorite summer day so far :0)!
