Kayaking the Charles River

One of the wonderful things about living so close to downtown Boston, is that we also live so close to the Charles River.  I mean, walk across the street close!  Not only is it beautiful to look at...

But it provides some great recreation as well!  There are walking/running trails around the river which are ALWAYS in use, and you can rent canoes, boats and kayaks to go out on the water - so when a friend approached Andy about taking Noah out on the water, we couldn't pass on the opportunity!

I thought Noah might be a little freaked out, but Andy  said he wasn't scared in the least.

Here are the guys, all suited up and ready to go.

And here is a little picture on the water.  The kayaks they used were for novices, so it would be very difficult to flip them over.  At one point Andy said that he was adjusting something and the Kayak started to teeter a little, to which Noah said, "Heyyyyy,  Whats going on!!?" haha It was the first time Noah had ever said that to either Andy or I, and he got a good laugh out of it.

I think the whole adventure was a success! Noah still talks about going out on the boat and Boston continues to score points in our book.
