Sunny Seward Surprise


It's been raining here for weeks.  Every day.  The creek in the back yard is flooding.  I haven't seen the sun since I don't know when....oh, wait, that's a song about being in prison.  Luckily I am stubborn and my desire to paddle my kayak is strong.  And luckily my boat was in Seward.  We hit the road after an early alarm on Sunday morning.  I decided the big dog was healed up enough to come along and play in the water, so we loaded up the beasts.  Niwt rented a big banana so he could actually paddle at the same time as me. 



The sunshine was waiting for us only a few miles down the road.  Good thing I packed for rain so I had a hat.  We found some sunscreen stashed in the bottom of a bag and a couple pair of sunglasses hiding in the truck.  I think I would have happily endured the misery of a sunburn if it meant this much dryness.  The pups had a great time swimming and we got off the water just as the wind was picking up.  Overall a perfect day and a great reminder to always take the weather with you.
