The twins go kayaking

We finally found a time to have some kid focused kayak lessons down at Aqua Adventures.



We had two classes. The first class was a bit short due to a mix up. Spent a good hour working on the basics, paddling forward, stopping and turn. They both had a great time.



Our second class was taught by John, and Otto tagged along for fun. This time we headed out toward Mariner's Cove to allow the twins to experience falling out and getting back in. Along the way we played under the pilings of the hotel. I had to tow Shira across the channel, as she got cold. Since they were not wearing spray skirts and she had a standard bikini bottom, her legs were fairly exposed. Once we got to the beach, she ran around a bit a warmed back up. Ben mean while went ahead with John and Otto. He practiced falling out. What was more amazing, was the he was able to scramble up the back deck and pop right back in. I can't do that.

With Shira warmed up, she took a few turn falling out and playing. After a while we decided to head back to the docks. I laid my spray skirt over her legs and she paddled back with no problem.

They are both looking forward to the next time they can go out kayaking.
