The things a girl will do for a guy! Nothing like paddling my arms off all afternoon in a kayak, right? I know, I know. You guys out there are saying, “We do all kinds of things for you girls too!” I guess that’s just the way it goes sometimes. But I can’t remember ever working so hard for a guy as I did on that kayak adventure last week. Remember, I told you about how my friend, Juliette, and I went to Fort Lauderdale beach? And how we ran into Jensen and Jason, the hot twins in our school? So when they invited us to go out paddling around the ocean with them, we both felt like, “Wow!”

Let me just tell you one thing right now – your arms work hard in a kayak. These things are small, pointy boats, kinda like canoes with rounder bottoms. They tip over really easy. As I found out! So anyway, Juliette and I are all excited to climb into these two kayaks with the twins. These dudes are SO totally gorgeous! You can’t even tell them apart – dark hair, big muscles, great smiles. Sigh. You get the idea.

So now we’re in the kayaks, sitting in front of the guys. I’m with Jensen. Juliette’s with Jason. And we’re sort of giggling to each other, but trying to hide it from the boys. We don’t want them to think we’re little kids or something. Because, well, they are a couple years older than us. So we want to act cool and mature, right?

Now we push into the ocean in our kayaks and, whoa – it’s like really hard to paddle these things against the waves! I guess it was easy enough for the twins. Maybe they just pretended it was easy. Juliette and I kept looking at each other like, “Is this the hardest thing you’ve done in your whole life??!” But once we got out farther in the water, it was really fun too. We went up and down, paddling along the whole beautiful Fort Lauderdale beach. The sun was shining and everything on shore looked amazing. I love this beach so much! So now I’m busy looking at some pelican flying over our heads and then it’s like – WOOP! Just that quick! I tipped the kayak over and fell in the ocean with Jensen! Juliette and Jason were laughing so hard at us. I guess it was pretty funny.

So we finally climb back into this tippy kayak and paddle back to shore. And Juliette’s still laughing. And all Jensen says to me is, “I’m really glad we ran into you girls today!” Just like that. And Jason says, “Yeah, it was great!” So Juliette and I KNEW they wanted to see us again. It all turned into this unbelievable day at the beach. Even if I can’t stop thinking about how dorky I was to tip over that kayak. But I guess Jensen didn’t mind. Because guess what? Next week, the twins are taking Juliette and me to this cool place called Boomers. It’s got a great roller coaster and bumper boats and stuff like that. Dad says it’s ok – he’ll drive us both ways. Is that totally awesome or what? I’m really starting to love living in Fort Lauderdale. A LOT! See ya next week!
