Kayaking

The other day we decided on the spur of the moment to go kayaking.  We wanted it to be a quick trip in the morning because of this heat wave so we just decided to go to Briar Creek Lake.  We took a leisurely kayak around the lake.  It was fun but I much prefer the river!  Annalise enjoyed herself until she decided that she didn't want to wear her hat.  There was not question about the fact that she HAD to wear it though because the sun was directly over us and with her "clear" hair there was no doubt her scalp would get fried!  So for part of the trip, she would take her hat off, and I would put it back on. She would get mad and take it off, and I would put it back on.  It was weird because she leaves this same hat on while we are in the pool if it is in the afternoon and she never puts up a fuss about wearing her cute little butterfly hat, but for what ever the reason she really did not want to wear this hat on this day.  I think she was just hot though because even though we went in the morning it was already well into the 80's and she also had on the life vest which is quite warm too.

Putting on her life vest which thankfully she likes this year.  Last year she hated it!

At this point the hat battle had started although she was content at the moment playing with a reed.

And this was the miserable pouty face that she had on for the remaining time in the kayak.  Stan said he just had to get a picture of her because this face was making him laugh.  You would have thought we were putting something painful on her head the way she kept yanking it off and objecting to having it on!
