Kayaking down the River...


This was day 2 of our float trip week, yesterday I forgot my camera. But now glad because today was the most important. I took my neighbor for her first kayak trip down the river yesterday. I have told you in many blogs before this one, Jeanie is my next door neighbor, but she calls me her "Crazy Neighbor". Never knowing what I am going to get her into!!!LOL
This week it was Kayaking...
Yesterday was her first kayak trip and she loved it...
So last night she went out and bought herself a brand new "Pink" one...


Now both Jeanie & her husband Mike in the water, waiting for me to catch up with them.

   
       This is what we just call "CHILLIN"...  It felt like we were on a wonderful vacation the last two days in our own back yards...  Just taking our time floating down stream...
        We only saw a father and son fishing, and another group of father and two sons on their boat fishing, as he said a little bit of bonding time with the kids this morning... a really quiet morning on the river.
   

Now just going in circles trying to find some big fish swimming in the shallow clear water.. and we did see some big ones today...

      Look how quiet and still the water is and how beautiful the scenery, in the bright morning sun, or should I say by now afternoon sun... I have always told everyone that has never been to West Virginia that we have the most "Beautiful Green State". Now you see what I mean...
 .... and look at this view!
       How nice for husband and wife to just sit and relax, not even a paddle in the water. we were in no hurry to get anywhere fast... Remember we are on vacation today...
 The sun felt so good and I did even get a little sunburn on my legs today. Never expecting that today...
 You couldn't help but put your feet out swinging in the nice cool water. Splashing water up on your legs every chance we got. Just to cool off...
Mike grabbed the camera to take a few shots of Jeanie and me... just chilling side by side floating down stream chatting away!!! Looking at all the beautiful homes and camps on the river, deciding what ones we would love to live in.... of course just buying them with our petty cash...LOL
Than later in the day my husband joined us at the camp to take a little spin around the river just for fun. We paddled upstream a little way and floated back down. If I did this everyday my arms would be buff!!! Sure makes you feel good to be out on the river in the sun here just before I have to go back to school...
