Yesterday we drove up to the Northern Beaches of Sydney and went kayaking with some friends on Lake Narrabeen. We weren't exactly sure how it would go with Maya on board - I pictured her trying to crawl out and us flipping the boat in an attempt to get her - but she was a natural! She sat between us, wearing her super puffy life vest, and cruised around the lake for an hour with nary a peep! The poor girl looked like a drowned rat (well, actually, we all did) by the end, what, between the water dripping off the paddles with each stroke, or the waves crashing over the bow of the boat as we paddled headlong into the wind to return home. But she took it all in stride, and even had a brief snooze in the middle. I guess with two crew parents we shouldn't be suprised!
