Vacation Day 1 - Family Fest

My sister Jenny and her husband Jack host an annual family get together at their home on the north shore of Lake Winnebago. Because of fortunate scheduling, we were able to participate in this years even. There was a great turn out of 45 people evenly split between Jacks family and Jenny's family. There was lots of good food and great water fun. I had my kayak with us since we are heading up to Door County with Jenny's family for a week of camping starting tomorrow. I was able to get out for about an hour of paddling. There was a 15-20 mph wind blowing from the west that whipped up the lake with swells of 2-3 feet. Paddling into the wind was fun. Waves crashing over the bow, wind whipped spray in my face, what a blast! It's really fun to be on big water. There was also plenty of water fun for the kids with several rafts anchored near shore for them to float on and dive from. Jack brought his ski boat out too so the kids could do some tubing. We all had a blast.
