A Little Labor Day Excursion

Over Labor Day weekend, we headed to a state park about 40 minutes south of Des Moines to hike and rent boats. It was a perfect day, sunny and about 80 degrees.

The boys thought the life vests were pretty funny, chest bumping each other sumo-wrestler style.

After debating between a kayak, canoe or peddle boat, we picked a canoe and took off on the lake. 

This was pretty much how Miles felt about the boat ride. He looked terrified and miserable for most of the trip.

He was happy again once we were on solid ground and he could throw sticks and rocks into the lake.

We threw some rocks in the water, hiked around a bit and no one fell into the lake. It was a good day.
