Story

We had an awesome time kayaking at the Spanish fork reservoir. We pushed the giant log into the middle of the reservoir and played on it for more than an hour. We tried to rock it back and forth and make other people fall off. Savannah fell in and I fell in twice. With Tara's help, we successfully got it to roll over. It was great fun.

Story

Taking advantage of my half-day-Friday work schedule, we went kayaking as a family to the reservoir. We had a great time paddling around, and I even pushed the giant tree stump out to the middle of the reservoir, which was a lot of work.

Story

For Water Wednesday, we ate pizza and played at the Spanish Fork Reservoir. Mostly we sat and talked on the beach, but we did do a little bit of kayaking as well.

We tookt the Priests fishing at the reservoir. I don't fish, so I played around on the kayak instead. Turns out I'm too big for the kid kayaks, go figure.

Story

Savannah got a kayak for her birthday, so we took it out on the reservoir. Savannah picked up on the paddling techniques very quickly. We raced across the reservoir a few times, but the most fun was playing tag. She would paddle away from me, and I would chase her and try to touch the tip of her kayak with the tip of my kayak.
