Afternoon of Water Biking

Water Biking at Shawnee Mission Park
Its the weekend before labor day, which traditionally means that outdoor stuff (like pools, lakes) will be closing in a week. So its our last chance to do something outdoorsy before they shut down for winter. Here's a shot of the lake, taken from our phone. Not much to look at, but it looks better in real life.

So we rented a paddle boat, one that looks like a boat, but with bicycle pedals for both people, and set off.


Its not a small lake, and it was pretty warm (high 80's), so it was about 15 minutes before we starting looking for a shady area to hide. So its in the shade that we decided to go geese hunting, using our camera. Here's a shot of that bird... We spent a good 15 minutes slowly sneaking up on with our paddle boat. Obviously we didn't do a good job doing that, cos this is the closest we ever got to it. That was the adventure of the day.

Here's a picture of us in the boat. 1 hr of boating and buckets of sweats later, we decided that it was enough of a workout for that day, and finally left that poor bird alone!
