SUP Boarding






Sunday was a glorious day!! We spent most of the morning and early afternoon up at Horsetooth Reservoir with these two babies. Fun is not a descriptive enough word to describe our time there. Chuck literally said, "Why has it taken us 3 years to come up here and do this?" Horsetooth is known as a favorite local spot for boaters. Chloe has been up there several times with friends. I guess we never thought we could also kayak or paddle board there as well. We weren't able to take photos while on the water, but in the cove we were in there were several groves of trees in the water. We desperately wanted to go back to shore and grab our hammocks and hang them up in the trees while dangling over the water. It was so picturesque.



This is the beauty that surrounded us.




We only rented two paddle boards and each doubled up. These things are expensive! Can't wait till we have our own. Just for the record, it's much more fun to solo board. Come to find out, Chuck and I have different methods of paddling. Going straight is an issue for us. I did not expect to work on our marriage, this of all days, but lucky us...we got to learn better communication.



These people were old pros at paddle boarding. Actually, let me rephrase that. Bennett did a fantastic job taking them all over the lake. Chloe was good at sitting and not rocking the boat.





And then there were the shenanigans. I know this is a horrible picture, but bear with me. Chuck and Bennett (and Chloe a little later on) spent hours trying to knock each other off the board. The hilarity they got from this little activity was contagious. However, during their little escapades, I got to paddle around the cove all by my lonesome and enjoyed every minute of it.

Absolutely can't wait for the next time! Now we just have to figure out how save enough money to buy a couple of these babies of our own so we can come up here every weekend in the summer.
