Kayaking

We did a lot of fun things during our Eastern Shore week. One of them was a 2+ hour guided kayak tour of the salt marshes at the tip of the peninsula. We broke up into 4 tandem canoes - dads took younger kiddos, moms took older ones. Everyone had a wonderful time. Amity was so relaxed (and tired) she actually napped for more than half the trip. Both big kids took their turn at paddling and did great!

In the first picture, we're getting situated to head off in the boats. If you look closely on the left, Amity's actually already in a boat. The second and third pictures were taken on Raccoon Island. It's this super cool little place that's only accessible when the tide is right. Pretty amazing to walk around, really. We saw a lot of cool shells, as well as some beautiful birds and a ton of different crabs. Crossed a channel twice and avoided the power boats that didn't really get the "no wake" concept. Good salty fun!
