Canoes!


Every year we go to Jenks Lake near big Bear for Labor Day with the Murrish's. We love it. We spend the day picnicking, visiting, and most importantly canoing.

Chloe and I on our first trip around the lake.

Preston and his buddy had a blast on the lake. **Just a note, Preston stayed in the canoe the 4 hours we were on the lake. I do not he think he ever came out. he loved giving himself as well as others rides around the lake.

Last year Derek was a little afraid of the rocking canoes and never really enjoyed his time in them. This year he was all smiles on his first trip.

Chloe had fun playing with Gracie and going on a walk on the other side of the lake too .

The next time Derek went out in a canoe he was so comfortable that he wanted to help row! I love it! I am so glad that he loves canoing too. I love these sweet adorable shots of Father and Son on the lake. Enjoy!

I enjoyed going around the lake with Preston. I loved that he would row out to a marshy section and stop and look at the fish for several minutes. The water was so clear that in some places you could see clear to the bottom. Preston was also nice and courteous to the fishermen. He chatted with a few of them and wished them the best of luck in their fishing. Preston also noticed a couple of little boys that were watching the canoes in awe. He kindly asked them if they would like a ride and got both his parents and the other boys' dad to agree to it.

I will leave you with my favorite picture from the whole day. Chloe and Derek had so much fun playing and laughing and swimming together while everyone else was in the canoes. Doug took the best picture of the two of them. These two really are such cute friends.

Was the water cold? Did you swim, too?
