Never a dull moment

A couple weeks ago I let my daughter ditch school (we'll call it a field trip). Brittany, my husband & I got a raft & started out from Ponca. The water was good, probably the last raft ride this year. We packed our lunch & planned to head to Kyles Landing. Not far from the Steel Creek access point we noticed a nice kayak abandoned on the bank. I knew the outfitters so we decided to float it to Kyles for them. My husband & I have been toying with the idea of buying our own yaks, but didn't know for sure if we would like them. This was the perfect opportunity. Richard decided he would give it a spin. The day was perfect. I manned the raft & Brittany counted turtles. We had a great time. We even hiked into hemmed in hollow. Richard has lived here his entire life & hadn't seen the falls. No better time than the present. We visited with some wonderful folks & made to Kyles & turned in the kayak. I think there will be some kayaks around our house soon. I can't wait!
