My friends and I planned a kayaking trip for about 2 months and Saturday was the day we picked to go. With the weather forecast on Thursday for Saturday to be at 0 % chance of rain – things were looking good. Well, until Saturday morning of course. It was pretty cloudy in the morning and Daryl said that it looked like it might rain. I told him that there wasn’t any in the forecast at all for today and it must just be a morning thing. Yea, not so lucky. All of a sudden it started to rain. Now there was a 10% chance of rain, well that was good because it was already raining. As the morning was going by, the rain increased to 80% chance. But again, it was still raining. We met anyway in Decorah to do our annual breakfast get together. The food was good and we decided to keep with our plan and see if it’s going to quit raining or not. Since I haven’t had a chance to get a kayak yet, I had to rent mine. No big deal, but we had to go to the rental spot first. It kind of turned out for the better, because we were trying to kill some time for the weather to get nice. Soon the sun came out and we were happy. Off to the water we went with our kayaks and paddles in hand. Now sometimes when you say that you love something, it’s like… yea. But when I say that I ‘Love’ to be on the water I really mean it. 
My idea of a perfect place to live would be to live by the river and with no one around. Humm.. after reading that description it kind of sounds like a hermit doesn’t it? Too funny! Anyway, we were on the river and it didn’t take too long and the weather was perfect. The water was a little cold, but with tons of springs feeding the river, it only makes sense that it’s a little cold with all the rain we’ve gotten.

A little wind to push us, sunshine, and good friends. Life is good. We had a great time today and it makes me really want to get a kayak so I can go even more often.
