Chasing the moon - chasing my "tale"

Chasing the moon
-
Spent Thursday and Friday out on the water "O" Dark 30 chasing what I hoped to be an unbelievable full moon set and sunrise.
-
The paddling was excellent but photo opportunities were scarce. The marsh is pretty choked off with weeds and Lilly pads, but I managed to get around Goose Island. Isolated and remote, with nothing but the geese to guide me.

Loaded for bear... Teddy Bear

Where's my paddle, I mean rattle!

Another adventurer has made her way into our hearts. Mike (long time adventuring friend) and his lovely wife have just had their first child. - Lillianna... what a dream. Hope she likes water! :-)

On Sunday, we hit Fowler lake with a full boat - my nieces, my sister and my two chit-lands. Got out for about an hour, tootled around up the Oconomowoc River to Riverside Park.
-
The kids did pretty good. Attention span in the boat was fleeting... Thank goodness for a couple of turtles and the geese. The kids got a kick out of seeing them.

Marissa just shook her head as she was bumped to passenger. She took issues with Jenny's poor paddling technique and lack of power in her stroke. I think the term "Boo" used was "She's a Paddle Dipper"

The wind came up and we fought our way back to the landing. We hugged the windward shore, the sun was shining, the water still very warm. What a great day to get the kids out on the water.
