Biking with Sheila and Kayaks with Sheila and Bonnie

Fun days with friends started with a bike ride!  Sheila and I started in the Spokane Valley and turned around at Post Falls, Idaho.  It was about a 10 mile ride.  Our turn around point was at a park on the outskirts of Post Falls.  I am loving my more comfortable, new bike. 

This is where Sheila decided we should take a rest.  Of course there were more benches to sit on that weren't covered with foliage from a tree.  Interesting choice. 

We discovered this park a couple of years ago with help from a friend.  

After a short rest we head back to our starting spot.  As we were crossing the Spokane River we spotted ducks, lots of ducks. 

Next adventure was on Clear Lake!  We spent a couple of hours kayaking and talking! Bonnie joined for this adventure.  

The day started out with a lot of fog and we considered canceling.  So glad we didn't!  Look at this weather.  It was just right.  Not too hot!  

Water like glass. 

I found a big rock with birds on it.  As I got closer I scared them away.  Sorry birds. 

This was really the last adventure for Sheila.  Time for meetings and getting a classroom ready for students before school starts for her.  

Twin Lakes Riding the Rapids on a Kayak

Riding the rapids could possibly be a little exaggeration.  It was choppy for sure because the wind was blowing.  It was a perfect day to spend on the water.  Mike and Mariane invited us to their condo on Twin Lakes in Idaho.  

 And here we go!

 AHHHH!

 I tried to get closer to take a picture of the ducks but they were faster than I was!

 The weather was perfect.  Not too hot at all.  The wind was an issue at times.

 Getting a picture of the white caps was a challenge.  Getting in the right position and staying in one place was impossible.  Then there was the issue of dropping my phone while I was taking a picture.  There were times when no matter how hard you paddled in one direction the water took you another.  It was actually sort of fun.

 The two Mikes went fishing!  They caught one fish in 3 hours.

More attempts to take pictures of the rapids.  One time I tried to paddle as fast as I could going through all this.  I got pretty wet but I was in a lake!  Wet is just fine.

 What a view!!!!

It was a great day with good friends.  Can't wait to take the kayak our again! Let's do it!
