Some friends asked if we’d like to “do something”, which in Montana-ese means “something outside”. We suggested kayaking, and decided to head over to Loon Lake. It’s a (relatively) small lake near us that’s really quiet and still. As we got on the water, we had to navigate through a maze of lilypads:
But once out on the water, it was like gliding across glass. A few gentle nudges with the paddles, and we’d coast ahead. It was wonderful.
As we explored the lake, we spotted some turtles sunning themselves on a log. (There were quite a few, but when I edged closer to get a picture, a bunch of them slipped silently into the water and swam off.)
With such a peaceful lake, we were able to paddle around and chat. After a couple hours on the water, we packed up and headed over to Burgertown for some dinner. A great summer day.
