Shira's turn kayaking

Since I took Ben out last week kayaking, it was time take Shira out paddling. She was so excited to finally get to go. We grabbed the last sit in tandem on the dock. We quickly outfitted her with a PFD and gave her the same paddle that Ben used (the one with a smiley face).

I gave her a quick lesson in paddling, and off we went. We headed first to the bait barge, and got to see a nice seal barking away on a buoy. We made our way toward Seaworld, with Shira joyfully commenting on everything she saw. The water show was not preforming yet, so we made our way back toward to the dock. There was a fair amount of boat traffic, so got to enjoy quite a few wakes. Shira loved bouncing through the waves. She kept looking for more wakes to go bouncing over.

We passed the entrance to the basin, and took a look out the channel to explain where the water comes from. We headed back into basin, and slip under the new Lifeguard docks before heading to the Aqua-Adventure docks.

We got out of the kayak with no problems. Shira helped sponge out the kayak from the paddle, while I went and helped to paddlers exit their boats. She loved it. The best part was later when Ben asked me if Shira had a great time paddling. It was very sweet of him.
