Kayaking…

Today on vaca Krist, Mark and I decided to go kayaking. We arrived at the dock to find out that we had only a half hour to kayak before they shut down shop. Kind of a bummer, but we figured ‘what the heck’ and decided to give it a go! Little did we know a half hour would be PLENTY of time. I absolutely love water and was so excited to get out in the vast ocean. What would we see? dolphins? seals? A great Orca perhaps?! We hopped in the kayak and were on our way! We didn’t get too far before it occurred to me…. “babe, could there be sharks out here?” Let me just say now, I’m not afraid of a lot of things, but the thing that I am probably most terrified of is sharks; ever since I was a young girl when I saw the movie Jaws. I don’t know why but it had not occurred to me until that moment that sharks could be out in the ocean where we would be kayaking… duh?… and in that moment I began to panic… The boys did not help either with their teasing comments or thumping the boat with an oar as if a big fish had hit it. oh boys… Needless to say, as much as I love the water, I was pretty thankful we only had a half hour- I was already ready to head back! We had no dolphin sightings, no whale sightings… but fortunately NO shark sightings either! Thank you Jesus! But all in all, I did have a good time. I did, really!!
