Diana and Vicky were game to try kayaking with us so we headed over to UW Saturday afternoon to rent some boats. Unfortunately, they didn't have any kayaks for rent, but we made do with canoes instead. And lest you think canoes are easy and safe to ride in, the two girls who were in front of us getting canoes tipped in IMMEDIATELY after launching off the pier. Their poor dog was scared to death and Diana had to run after it while the girls were climbing back onto dry land.
We had no issues though and stayed inside our boat, on top of the water, the entire time we were out on the lake(s). We crossed the Lake Washington Shipping Canal and headed over to do the Arboretum Loop, then crossed Union Bay to the very tip that it becomes Lake Washington before heading back to the Husky Stadium. In all, we were on the water for about 2.5 hours and my behind is still sore from sitting on those hard aluminum benches!
Here's some fun pictures for you to see our adventure. Enjoy!
