Monument Lake

We recently met our friends, Kylie and Brian, and their girls, Danika and Tuli, at Monument Lake.  It's a small little lake in Monument (obviously) and one of our favorite places to go in the summer.  It is so peaceful, with no motorboats and never more than a handful of other families there.  We enjoyed a day of fishing, playing in the water and kayaking in Kylie and Brian's inflatable kayaks.  It was actually sort of smoky (from the New Mexico fires) and cloudy, so the pictures are sort of washed out, but here are the highlights....

All the kiddos, except for Owen (he was out on the lake)...

 Owen and Josh kayaking.   Owen LOVED it!

 Bree and Wyatt kayaking.  Wyatt was a little unsure of this adventure and said he missed his green blankie and his Daddy when we were about halfway across the lake.
