Trying new things.....

This Thursday we enjoyed some time at the beach. It was a beautiful day! The sun was shinning & the water was pretty warm, but refreshing. Since the water was warm we decided we would try something new...... PADDLE BOARDING! One of the brothers in our hall told us about a place that rented out paddle boards. So Thursday morning we packed up the truck and headed to St. George Island- One of the beaches we hadn't yet been to.

If you don't know what paddle boarding is, here is a simple explanation: A paddle board is just like a beginners surfboard, it is 11 feet tall, you rent that board with a paddle. So when you get out to deep enough water you stand up on the board and paddle you way around the ocean.

It was such a blast. We loved it- accept for when the waves took you down (although I have to say it was entertaining to watch them go down.)

We had to swim out a little ways. Which got kind of un-nerving when you had nothing to float on. Sometimes you could get back in to shore a little quicker by catching a wave.

All of us got to get up on the board. It was so amazing to see Jehovah's creations.... So glad we got to share some pictures of our adventure with you.
