The Last Time

 The pool and Rec Department closes tomorrow and I will not be able to paddleboard today....I guess summer is officially over for me.

We made sure to get one last hoorah in though. Yesterday, Taylor, his mom, Tom, Tom's mom, Tom's friend and I went paddleboarding after church. Our friend Jess came to take pictures.

It was so cool to have such a big group. My mother-in-law had never tried paddleboarding, and neither had Tom's mom. They both did great!

My favorite part of the day was pushing Tom in the water (unfortunately, there was no way to get a picture of that). He is so athletic and good at everything, so naturally, we wanted him to fall off ;)
It took a lot of effort on Taylor and I's part, but we got him. MUAH-HA-HA.
PS- We love you, Tom.

I love how peaceful the lake is. I grew up at the beach and the beach will always be my favorite, but I have learned that the lake is nice too. Its very serene and relaxing. You also don't have to worry about waves crashing on you when you least expect it.

I'm really glad I discovered paddleboarding. Its something that is fun and feels leisurely, but is actually great exercise.

I'm not great at it and it would certainly be easier if I were thin, but I thoroughly enjoyed doing this.

I only wish I had tried it earlier in the summer.

At least now I know what to look forward to at the start of next summer :)

Look at my man go :)
