Slalom kayaking is when you have a long, fast, and narrow boat and you are trying to make it through all the gates without touching or hitting them.

Kids Spartan Race

New Kayaking Skills . . .
Since we didn’t go on our usual rafting trip to the Lower Slalom in Idaho, my parents took us to Coloma instead. We kayaked, saw friends, met new kids who kayak, and played board games.

We camped out at wilderness hot springs and went fly fishing. I didn’t catch anything, but we had […]
