Here is a little story about a family who rented a rowboat, rowed out to the middle of Kayuta lake, only to discover the boat was taking in water.  Bill scratched his head, looked around at the water in the boat and said, "I don't think my rowing has splashed that much water into the boat."  And I said, "Maybe there's a hole?"  At this point Alanna screamed, "There IS a hole!  I can see the hole mommy!"  And Bill, rowing frantically towards shore, yelled at Alanna, "Well, cover it with your foot!"	And if Bill had rowed any slower, we all would have been clinging to each other around this fire to get dry.

Here are a few images I took from our home video recorder so they aren't perfectly clear.
