Kayaking and Family Game Night

Yesterday, on Dan's day off, we decided to finally check out the Baylor Marina and go for an early evening kayak. It was Dan's first time in a kayak (unless you count Wii Sports Resort), and *maybe* my fifth time. Nothing like the blind leading the blind on an aquatic adventure!

15 minutes into our paddle it started to slightly drizzle. The Marina sent out a motorized flat boat to tell us we needed to come back. By the time we were on shore, the sun was shining -- but they said we were out of luck. Oh well. Better luck next time! We both left feeling very encouraged -- the Marina is only a 5 minute bike ride away, and as students our rentals are free. I think they will be seeing a lot of us in the coming weeks!

Finally, I'll post some pictures from our impromptu game of Risk. I'm a bad student -- instead of listening to the rules, I emptied my container and took over North America. The game quickly escalated to opening other containers in an attempt to "win" according to the new rules. (Sorry Dan, I promise one day I'll have patience to learn the *real* rules)

It should be no surprise that Loki was thrilled with this new game.

I think there are still pieces lodged under the chest.

For your own safety, I highly recommend NOT laying next to the chest as you attempt to fish out pieces.
