    Kayaking with Finn!

    Ok, I took these on Friday, but, finally got them scanned. Ugh, I'm so spoiled with digital! I got a little sloppy on some of the scans, but, oh, well. And, we took the photos with a disposable, waterproof camera, so, they're not amazing. It was cool being able to drop the camera in the water to eachother, so, that we could get different views of Finn. Anyway, here he is, swimming alongside my friend, Brian, and, I as we kayaked. We kayaked a 1/2 mile out, and, then back. Finn did so well! He was a bit spastic at first, zigzagging between our two boats, and, not trying to keep up with us. We had to paddle slower than we normally would. And, he kept getting into the kayaks with us, probably three or four times. He never stays put very long, though, I have to work on that part of it. But, on the way back, he kept up with me almost the whole way! It was so funny, he almost got competitive about it! He didn't swim unnecessarily back and forth, either...just hard and straight, it was beautiful to see! Anyway, here are the photos from his first mile-long kayak "trip!"

    While I got the kayak ready, Brian was putting his jetski up...

    on the jetski!



    swimming next to me...

    sorry for the different sizes, that's weird...

    swimming by brian...that small broccoli floret looking group of trees in the distance is an uninhabited small island, that's where we kayaked to...

    in the kayak with brian...





    heading back with me...that group of tan and brown buildings is home, that's where we started and ended...







    I actually have a couple more, but, I have to remember where I put them. And, I'm going to resize those few big ones!

    Hope y'all enjoyed! That was a good day!

    Kari that looks like so much fun. Finn seems to be doing okay in his new life jacket.

    The jacket doesn't slow him down or bug him at all! He lets me put it on him with no problem, and, it doesn't get in his way at all, it fits him well. He gets crazy now when I grab it! Even after only three times!

    Makes my Labbie and water loving heart proud to see you in action, Finn! Wow!!! You're definitely a water baby! We kayak quite a bit here, too. Have to say you are one good boy not to tip that kayak over! Love your water gear too Hugs to you Finn!

    Those open kayaks that Brian has are really hard to tip over. He did try to climb in with both of us a couple of times, but with the handle on the life jacket, we just lean in the opposite direction, and, it seems to work out! I think it'll just take him some practising to realize what we're doing and what's expected out of him, as far as kayak etiquette. I really want to look into getting a canoe, as it would be a lot roomier for he and I to boat. But, he's just such a freak, it'll be awhile, I think, before I can trust him to stay in the boat when I ask him to.

    I don't know why, I was thinking that, too...it wasn't that cold, though. It wasn't bath water like it gets sometimes, but, it wasn't that cold. I think it was just that it was getting a bit dark outside, and, the camera isn't the best either that we used.

    We did a couple of times...it's funny, he doesn't slow down at all when you grab the jacket, either...
