On Monday, Matt took a day off work. He and Cecilia had a Papa-daughter fun day, and borrowed a friend's kayak to have an adventure on the Indian River (intercoastal). We weren't sure how it was all going to work out, since Cecilia didn't go for the kayak the last time we tried a few months back. But there were life jackets (body glove, waaay cool) on sale at Sam's Club, so decision made.
Cecilia LOVED it - they ended up spending three and a half hours on the water! They got to play with about 8 manatees out in the river for an hour, wandered around on a little island for a bit, and then got to see a pod of dolphins - 10 or 12 - swimming by. They even paddled with a momma and baby dolphin for about a half hour. Then they paddled about a mile or so out to a big highway bridge and then back to land. Papa was basically the man when he brought a little white spatula so that Cecilia had her own "paddle" and a bucket so that Cecilia could dump water all over everything and everyone. Good distractions.
Getting ready to go!
