Kayaking

A few weeks Ellee went out for the first time in an adult kayak! I loved the little kid kayaks that we had found a few years ago and enjoyed watching El learn new a new skill!  She was such a natural with it.

But all good things must come to an end and the other week I realized that she had outgrown her boat.  Nervous that an adult kayak was too big, I figured that the best way to find out is to put her in one and see how she does.  That kid never ceases to amaze me!  Some one gave me advice the other week and told me "Teach kids what you think they are capable of, then teach them beyond that!  They catch on quick and are eager to learn!"  And I think that boating is a great example of that!  She picked up on turning, going backwards, and even more.
