Our Athens Getaway – Part 2

It’s time to share about our second big adventure from our little getaway this past weekend! If you missed Gryphon’s hike from Part 1, be sure to check that out first. You’ll get to read about and see how he is turning into a water cat…

Anyway, after resting up from Gryphon’s hike and having a snack, we took Kylo Ren and Gryphon both out for a canoe ride down the river. As we mentioned in our last post, the property we were staying on had a pond, river access, and canoes that we were free to use. Kylo has always enjoyed his canoe adventures, but this was Gryphon’s first one. Based on how well he’s done with everything else and how much he seems to be fascinated by water, we had a feeling he would be a natural canoeing kitty. We were right…

He was immediately comfortable on the canoe, like he’d done this a million times before. As we expected, he was intrigued by all the water. He spent a lot of time peering over the edge at it. He also made himself at home on the middle seat. We took out a 3 person canoe, and Bobby and I sat at the two far ends – leaving the middle seat open for the cats.

Kylo Ren enjoyed the canoe ride as well. His favorite spot was in my lap at the front of the canoe. He loves the breeze and all the smells.

The canoe ride was the final big adventure for the day. Both the boys (and Bobby and I too!) were exhausted! Stay tuned though, because the following morning Kylo Ren had his turn at a solo exploration around the property. We will post about that next!
