I got the kayak and Heather got the paddle board. I can do paddle boards, I really can, kind of, but they are a lot of work. Kayaking is a lot easier. Heather loves paddle boards. She teaches a class in our gym&#8217;s pool where one stands on the boards and does things. I take the class but I am pretty shaky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2jGj6bJ\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50339303666_c93ee6e8de.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF0233\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The lake was beautiful and the day was gorgeous.

It was a great place to chill. We didn&#8217;t spend much times indoors. We spent most  of the time on the deck with its sectional couch and  the hot tub which I didn&#8217;t take a photo of for some reason.
