Kayaking Adventures at Lazy Acres

With five kayaks piled in two trucks, Mom, Dad, Colin, Jorge and I crawled slowly toward the lake at camp Lazy Acres in New York.

It was a hot July day, perfect for a smooth paddle – my first kayaking experience.

And not a bad place for it!

The water was still, serene and reflected the surrounding foliage like a mirror.

Little splashes of colour were dotted along the banks.

We even had an audience.

Jorge was the first one in.

Time for kayak number two.

Mom was next.

Company!

Neither of them had fallen in yet so I considered myself ready.

Turns out it was much easier than expected.

I even won a race.

I was, of course, forced to surrender my camera and just relax. Colin, Dad and Jorge caught fish. I made my way around the lake several time and then chilled out in the sun which was pretty perfect, just missing tea and a good magazine! Next time, bring on the rapids!
