I just spent 5 glorious days on Inks Lake with my boys. What a fantastic time we had!!! It started off a little hot & we could not find a spot on the water, but with perseverance (lots of looking & racing back to headquarters) we did get a spot on the water with lots of shade!!!The week consisted of jumping in our kayaks whenever we wanted and paddling around the lake. We would paddle to the Devil's Watering Hole where I would watch my fearless sons jump off the rock. 
(I freely admitted I was too chicken to even climb up & think about jumping off). We also paddled around just looking at the different foliage and wildlife the lake had to offer. It was incredibly relaxing!!! We just took up kayaking last summer and are now a three kayak family. If I could kayak everyday, I would, it is so relaxing and fun. It is amazing to watch how easy it is for my two sons. They have taken to it, like they have kayaked all their lives.

It was truly great to not watch the clock, to not have to be anywhere, to just relax, and do whatever. When we camp there is no TV, no time tables, just all natural fun. We played cards, cooked together, and spent time just talking. Between the swimming, fishing, and hiking, I was able to spend a tremendous amount of quality time with my sons, and that was by far the absolute best part!!!!
