A few months ago, we bought a kayak and we finally got out to use it. We headed out under the I-90 bridge on Lake Washington. Jason borrowed his kayak from a friend. Both of us were getting ready, putting on our life jackets and my kayak started to float away with out me, so out I went to get it. So much for staying dry!
Jason just starting out near the I-90 bridge. 
We headed to the left and made our way to the Mercer Slough.It's a narrow passage way that runs through Bellevue.
This is the entrance way to the Slough. 
The city of Bellevue from the Slough.
Teenage ducks hiding in the bushes on a log.I didn't even see them. Jason did and got this great picture.
Isn't this an amazing picture! Jason took it!
4 of 5 turtles sunning themselves on a log. At a different spot one swam up to the surface to see me, and when he saw that I saw him, down he went!
Me in the boat!
Lilly pads and ducks! We also saw TINY baby Canadian geese.It was a fun trip!
