We decided that a day that was 110 degrees outside necessitated some degree of water, sooooo, we loaded up the kayaks and headed off to the lake.

And back into the kayaks and off we went.
The girls are so fast we could hardly catch up.

The choppers are still fighting the fires with huge water buckets.

Dipping the bucket for another load

And off it goes.
What a great day, spending time together as a family, laughing, enjoying the water, the sun, and yes a little smoke due to the fires.
Family life is the best. What a blessing it is to have a beautiful wife and such special kids.
God has given me so much to be thankful for.
