A little weekend getaway kayaking in Maine.... Adam had the idea of going kayaking in Maine over labor day weekend. My first reaction was, we can't go, we still have too many projects and not enough nice weather to do them all before winter's here. But I decided, what the heck, the kids are growing up way too fast and we need to get away and enjoy them more. So, Maine it was.

We stayed on the Airforce Base in Brunswick, Maine. The first night consisted of frisby, football, pizza, and the watching the BYU-Oklahoma game. It was a fun game to watch, and I had one very happy husband when the game was over!

The next morning we woke up and rented kayaks from the base and headed to the river. It was slow moving, no white water, so fun and safe for the kids.

The first 1/2 I had an extra child in my tandem kayak, and then Adam's turn on the return trip.
Luke was very nervous about getting in at first, but as you can see, he soon g0t over it and enjoyed the ride.

Em and Sarah both had their own single kayaks. Emma was a little experienced from girls camp already, and it didn't take Sarah long to catch on.
And lastly, the bridge we did not go under, because just beyond it are some falls. We're good and all, but not quite ready to take on waterfalls yet....
