We drove almost 2200 miles in 3 days. Got back late Thursday night, rested on Friday, and then this is where we were Saturday! Gotta love a little adventure:)
We paddled 10 miles down the river. It took 7 hours, plus a couple hours to stage the cars and load in and out! We took our time, swimming, splashing, and enjoying beautiful North Carolina!
 |
| The Buckner Family came with us….made it even more fun:) |
 |
| Nathan was good as long as there was an endless supply of food! j/k |
 |
| I think Cody is about to dive off the back of his kayak…the water was so warm, but it still felt very refreshing! |
 |
| Cody and Kali loved paddling their kayaks, although they got pretty tired and were grateful to "hook on" and catch a ride now and then! |
 |
| These kayaks have been so fun to have….you can fit a whole family on this yellow one! |
 |
| Nathan eventually decided Daddy's boat was way cooler than mine, and that is where he camped out most of the trip! |
 |
| Go Cody! |
 |
| Can she get any cuter:) |
 |
| And this was Kayla's favorite spot:) |
 |
| Or this one:) Yes…all this kiddos took naps too. Doesn't that just look so comfy? |
 |
| Cody decided he needed to stretch his legs:) |
 |
| This was one of the little rapids on the river. Cody had TONS of fun hitting the rapids. They were all about class 2 rapids, not too bad, although some of us got knocked out for a swim, and the yellow boat flipped over on one! It made things a little exciting! |
 |
| oh Annabelle….she wanted to swim the whole way, but she got tired….and was a little slow! Her birthday is this month and she will be 10 years old! I'd say she is doing great! |
 |
| Here is the group, minus Kayla and myself. 4 adults, and 8 kids! so fun:) |
 |
| Cody fell asleep sitting up…wore him right out:) |
 |
| Kali fell asleep sitting up too! |
 |
| They eventually deciding laying down was much more comfortable. |
 |
| She fell asleep gripping her paddle…she did not want to lose that! |
Day 2
Well, Saturday was lots of fun. We rested Sunday, and decided to DO IT AGAIN on Monday!
 |
| Took a little break to explore the island. I love these kids! |
 |
| "Lets hold hands!" says Kali:) |
 |
| the rocks are a little slippery and awkward to walk on! |
 |
It was so pretty!
|
We got some really fun video as well. Just a really great day.
Just amazing! I can't believe how the kids have their own Kayaks and look so comfortable on them. Standing up! sleeping!! I love that Kali has her thumb, no blanket, but the paddle will do! What a fun sport and what fantastic parents! I wish I was there!
