On a windy, but sunny day we arrived at the boathouse in Shoreline Park, which looked a lot more appealing than I imagined (mainly because I forgot to imagine what it might have looked like.) We got our life jackets on and chose to ride either a kayak, canoe, stand-up paddleboard, or pedalboard. I jumped into a kayak with my dad and went straight to the middle of the lake; the one place the tour guide told us specifically not to go.
Many of us continued to kayak, but those of us that switched either went on to the paddleboard, pedalboat or canoe. One of my friends and I tried a stand-up paddleboard but found out midway that we weren't going forward because we were sitting backwards on the board. As for how we found out, our dads took one look at us and sent a rescue person to guide us. We fell several times; the first few times on accident, but the rest of them on purpose. And we accelerated so aggressively, that people around us got worried at the sight of us, including our dads, who then took a two-person kayak to attempt to help us.
After all the water sports, we changed and had a picnic on some green hills in the Park. There were Cheetos, lays, cookies, and various juices. There was also a lot of chatting about the food, kayaking, Minecraft, and........airplanes. The kayaking went really great and it was a whole lot of fun. The picnic was also very relaxing and I think the parents also enjoyed it a lot. They all were very happy and very talkative too. We ate food immediately after we finished taking showers and changing our clothes. The showers were rather small and geese and ducks surrounded the showers, but overall, they weren't that bad. The changing rooms/bathrooms were small and compact, but they were very clean and tidy. After everyone was done eating we took some pictures. Sahana, Anya, and Tanvi R brought some very cute props to take pictures. We took pictures with our dads and we took some group pictures too. After we all were done eating we did a sweep. We picked up quite a large amount of trash, but after we were done the place was very clean. It was pretty windy outside, but it was manageable. Overall, the outing was very enjoyable and we all loved it!
