A section of our local park has a small lake in it (isn't it beautiful, by the way? So... brown.) and there are row boats that you can rent for a half hour. We'd never tried them out before so a few weeks ago we decided to give it a try.
The first thing that Katie said was, "And lifejackets - So we can be safe!" Quoting Dora the Explorer. Of course, this isn't America, Sweetheart, so there were no lifejackets in sight. Let me tell you, it was a bit of a challenge to keep little Miss Little Sister IN the boat! She did NOT want to sit still! She and Mommy only lasted 20 of the 30 minutes before it was time to abandon ship.
Not that much would have happened if she had fallen in - I think the boat was a foot and a half deep and the water was about 2 feet deep. We wouldn't have even needed to jump in to save her - just get a shoe wet. :-)
This is a little hard to see but there is an airplane landing that you can see between the trees. That's life in the big city! Rowing boats in the park with airplanes landing overhead!
A stop in the park and then on to home! It was a nice adventure trying something new!
