So I signed us up for a kayak rental at the lake last Saturday without really thinking it through. Wife was not amused but we went anyway. It was way harder than it looked and my shoulders are still sore but honestly it was pretty fun once we got the hang of it. Definitely going back but maybe with some actual lessons first lol.
Ha, I like your style. My wife would've killed me too but honestly that's the kind of story the kids remember forever. Did they actually enjoy it once you all got in the water?
This is exactly the kind of adventure I live for with my kids. Kayaking at the lake sounds amazing, even if you winged it. How'd the family handle it once you got going?
I respect the confidence but also that sounds like it could have gone sideways fast. How many of you made it back to shore without incident?
This is exactly the kind of adventure I want to do with my son but I'm terrified of the learning curve on water. How did it actually go? Anyone cry or did you all have fun despite the chaos?
Zero experience kayaking with kids is a bold strategy. Did anyone go overboard? I'm always nervous about water activities with mine but they'd probably love it.

That takes guts to just sign up without knowing what you're doing. I admire the dad energy but also nervous for you. Did the rental place at least give you a crash course before you pushed off?
