so we are kind of having a chill weekend this weekend we are actually going to stay local and
go for a little winter kayak ride this morning we have a lake that's just like not even five
minutes from our house the waters are still open and there's snow on the ground and we figured how
fun to kind of go do like winter kayaking since the water is still open so we're really excited to
get on the water we pretty much thought we were done kayaking for the year it's a little windy
but the way the wind is positioned it should be pretty calm on the side of the lake where we like
to kayak we're gonna get all dressed up with our winter gear and get on the water and see how which
kayaking is so excited let's go and a winter kayak ride is not complete without some coffee
when i fill my thermoses i always have to take this apart because they're so big
that they don't fit under here like regular coffee cups so
there we go all right there's my espresso i do like four shots in here i'm gonna put some
hazelnut in it i just have the sugar-free hazelnut and then i like to also put the french
vanilla i had a mocha this morning so changing it up for my second coffee and add my soy milk
there it is all right ready for kayaking all right i got my hat on i put on this
neck thing i don't really know what the name of it is got my coat got my winter pants which i
haven't worn since last winter and they still fit so that's a good thing right and i got
my boots on so that's my kayaking gear right this is the snow situation
gotta help hubby get the kayaks in this is a weird sight you guys kayaks and snow it's gonna be fun
yeah and it's deer hunting season so my husband's wearing orange and i'm like well
my kayak is orange and yellow so i'm just all geared out all right here's the lake you guys
check it out open water not even ice on the shore oh i'm so excited oh my gosh over there is like
a huge block of geese let's see that's where we're kayaking i don't know if you can see him
oh it's going to be so nice oh i'm so excited we made it
wow this is gonna be awesome the geese are already mad at us because we're on the water
oh my gosh we're on the water this is so cool it's pretty
good it is so i'm gonna be real honest right now hope you didn't really want to try doing this
and i'm like why wouldn't you it's so pretty and now that he's on here he's pretty happy hey han
how's it going this is so nice they're cold really it's not cold yeah like i think the high today was
gonna be like 39 degrees or so and i don't know it's like 10 in the morning right now and it's
it's not cold at all like i'm probably cold yeah if we're on the other side of the lake
i'm sure it'd be cold but we of course are on the calm side so yeah i'm like actually i
don't even have mittens on because like i'm not even cold and yeah so this is awesome
so normally we would be deer hunting but nah we're kind of over deer hunting so it's all good much
rather kayaking than here just came to the point where we can't shoot you anymore i shot a doe one
year and she had milk because she had babies and i just felt like the worst person in the world
so ever since that situation we'll not shoot dear anymore because it just felt like so bad because
i knew she had babies so we've both got our really big bucks we've both bigger mike was bigger i was
in high school and that's when i got my big time pointer we have no proof anymore i have a photo
this is really nice but i still win but now we don't hunt at all so that's where it's at
there's some white snow geese coming our way oh
they're kind of in the distance come this way pretties let's see if i can zoom in
there they are they're checking us out all right now that it's winter minnesota what are you all up
to what are you doing this winter comment below i'm curious we're gonna do some snowshoeing and
of course some hiking wherever we can um i don't know we might do cross-country skiing
i've never done that so we'll see let me know what you guys are all up to this winter because
it's here and it lasts a long time you gotta keep having fun this winter so
oh my goodness look at you guys otters oh my god there's two of them
oh my god you guys that was so cool i have never seen otters on this lake so we've kayaked
yeah yeah we didn't even know they had otters on this lake actually like that wasn't beavers that
was like otters that was so cool i'm kind of like in awe right now so we've seen snow geese
they're back oh okay they're hanging out right under this tree i'm hoping they come out
they're kind of coming let's see if they come oh they just went under
they're like in front of ends okay this is just so crazy like there's otters on this like near
us i didn't even know that i don't know if you see them they're like right right over there
to the left of vince like in the water sorry my finger right there ish oh my gosh that is so cool
look at them playing they're so fast oh my god you guys they're like literally just like out here
playing i can't like get close to them but the last time we saw otters was when we were in alaska
like truly didn't even realize we had otters in minnesota so cool it's so cool and there's
huge eagles flying oh my god so this is crazy i just didn't expect so much wildlife
especially otters this is crazy so another crazy thing that little patchy tree back there that
we're showing you like the otters are under i think that's where they're living because it was
like right when we got up to it it smelled like fish so they were like eating fish and i guess
or they smell like that you think okay so either they were eating fish or they just naturally smell
like fish because it was so weird as soon as we got up to it it was very fishy smelling and we
haven't smelled any fish yet since we've been on the lake so maybe there's a follower of mine
that knows a lot about otters so let us know let us know what's going on there all right you guys
this tree is like where the eagles are hanging so i'm gonna see if i can zoom see i'm right there
they're like coming in and off of this ledge so i don't know they might be feeding or what
but it's sitting up there i think it's a juvenile because it still has like spots on it so are you
guys confirmed so vince is on google right now we do have river otters in minnesota
and i can't believe they're like in the lake like really close to our house that's so cool
how cool is that all right so on our way back to the access and we're gonna go
