Woah 😯 the scenery is breathtaking indeed and your painting captured the serenity of the lake. Thank you for taking us along with you to your kayaking and hiking. Never got to experience such an adventure as embarrassing as it may sound, I don't know how to swim 🙈. I enjoy this type of vlog wherein you incorporate a fun activity with art. I remember in your last vlog that you're birthday is approaching 🤔😁. Hope perhaps if its not imposing, that you can share a glimpse of how you plan to celebrate it . Or a painting of what place you want to go or whatever you wish for. Advance Happy Birthday!🥳🎂

It’s not too late! If you’re wearing a life jacket while you kayak, knowing how to swim isn’t really necessary! Particularly in this lake, we weren’t even allowed to get out and swim if we wanted to. The only swimming are was on the beach because the lake itself is so deep and it’s a state owned facility. I hope you get to experience something similar soon-the beauty of nature as observed from such a place is so incredible. ☺️ My birthday is coming up! The next video you see will have a bit about that and how I’m appreciating my advancing age. 😂 Thank you so much!

Ahhh makes me miss kayaking! Lovely and serene. It’s fun to take our art with us. I don’t know about you, but I always remember the experience so much more clearly when I paint it, rather than just snap a photo of it.

[@craftycrandall]

Absolutely!! I love looking back at my travel journal to remember my trips. It’s a really lovely way to capture a moment. 😊 I’m only just getting into kayaking, but really enjoying it so far! One day I’ll have my own.

@@craftycrandall I’ve looked at Oru Kayaks-like oragami kayaks! Next summer my splurge!

[@craftycrandall]

@@Julie-vy3oz Whoa! I've never heard of those, but I looked them up and they look SO cool! Definitely a great option!!

Great vlog✨ that lake is so stunning ❤️😂so funny you ended up questioning the lakeview trail, I would have too. I liked the infused imagination in your lake painting, super fun. What a great day out.

[@craftycrandall]

Hahaha it was such a disappointing trail for being a “lake view” trail! Thank you so much!
