I had been wanting to try stand up paddle boarding (SUP) for a while. It is supposedly the fastest growing sport or recreational activity. It looks both fun and potentially relaxing. Everybody was not as eager to try it as I was but Diane really wanted it to be a family activity so we all went. I think the kids were interested but just very concerned about falling in. I said it wouldn't be a good story if at least one person doesn't fall in :)

No one fell in until the very end when we were headed back to the dock. A momentary lapse in concentration led to Drew landing in the drink. I've never seen him swim so fast! He was so worried about touching the bottom for some reason :)

We all really ended up enjoying it. It takes a little bit of time to feel comfortable but overall not very hard. Drew and I really want to buy boards but the high cost is stopping is at the moment.
