Now this is cupcake island!

I've heard stories of a time when cupcake was an actual island, but I never saw it. Since the water level is so low, I've been able to these past few days.

Yesterday, Darcy, Stephanie and Alison rowed out to cupcake. Alison and Stephanie came in Billy and Lanie's canoe, and Darcy and I kayaked out.

I actually bought 2 pretty nice inflatable kayaks for guest to use, but the paddle seems to be too short for the kayak. The inflatable kayaks are much sturdier (and more comfy!) than the regular kayaks. I read online reviews about the kayaks we bought, and the people said they are great - they had very good reviews. I just need to find the right paddle, and we'll be in business!

Here is a picture of Stephanie in one of the inflatable kayaks:

I don't know if you can tell, but this is a picture of me in my kayak with Henry:

He's an outdoor enthusiast, and I'm so glad. I went for a 45 minute hike with him yesterday, and he did great! I ran with him off and on, and sadly, I can't keep up with him! Actually, if I run (literally) as fast as I possibly can, then I can keep up with him, but it's not exactly a pace I can endure for long periods of time! LOL. I need to work on running, so I can keep up with my 2 inch dog. Pathetic!

Today, we are going to hike Rock Rimmon on the way to or from breakfast. Alison is coming up again, and I'm going to see if the girls are around. I hate to wake people up early on the weekend, but I also hate the thought of anyone missing out on such a beautiful day!

After breakfast, I want to do a little bit of cleaning, but not too much. Since Darcy isn't working, we won't need to waste our weekends cleaning anymore! I am also thinking of buying a hammock today. As I write, I'm listening to all the sounds of nature, and I think it would be heavenly to have a hammock to relax upon during the warmer months.

Naturally, you can't keep me away from the water, so after that, we'll go kayaking again. I truly love my life.
