All summer we have talked about taking LT and Z on paddle boats and of course, we waited until the last second to do so. Yesterday was a perfect day, no afternoon plans, the weather was cooperative and the dads had other things to do. We headed to Wash Park and rented a paddle boat for the 4 of us.
A few weeks ago Renee and I took our kids swimming at Anderson Pool. The little pool was closed and so the lifeguard offered/gave us life jackets to take them in the big pool. LT wanted nothing to do with it. I was afraid the same thing would happen today on the paddle boats, but he put it right on and was ready to go. Z wasn't so sure about the coolness of wearing a jacket, but we managed to get it on him as well and off we went.
I have to admit, these little guys don't know how to swim and the lake is deep, I was slightly afraid one would try and swim, but they were really good! Both boys sat perfectly still completely entranced by the calmness of the water in the midst of a chaotic park. Z did the steering and LT attempted to peddle. His legs were going around and around like bike peddles, but were 12 inches away from the peddles.
We rented the boat for an hour, and were pleased when we managed to squeeze thirty minutes out of two two year olds. It was a fun adventure!
