Canoe ride

Yesterday Alex and I went for a boat ride in my 15' solo canoe. It was a calm warm summer day and a perfect time for us to get out on the water. Alex did'nt like wearing his life vest and would only put it on when I put mine on. That is not surprising as he will only do things if I first do them. We didn't stay on the water long but it was long enough for him to stay still a relativley long time. He did love to put his plastic truck in the water and let it drag but I told him if he lets go it is gone. He was a bit nervious at first as the canoe wggles a bit if you try and stand but he got the hint that staying seated would be the best option for him. We paddled for about 30 mins and that was long enough to go from one end of the lake to the next. This lake we went to was a childhood favorite of mine and going there always brings back lots of memories for me. I used to go fishing their when I was about 9 or 10yrs old. Lots of fun and he liked it too I hope.
