Stow Lake

A few weeks ago, K-bao had her first experience on a rowboat, at Stow Lake at Golden Gate Park.


While sister C-bao exhibited more caution in the boat - not helped by K-Mum's cries of "We're not going to make it! We're not going to make it! Let's say our last prayers!" - K-bao watched K-Pop for all of a few seconds before she insisted on trying her own hand at the oars. Of course, some of that impatience was likely driven by exasperation at K-Pop's less-than-efficient rowing.

K-bao discovered that controlling the boat was a little harder than it looked. An oar or two might even have slipped into the lake during her short-lived stewardship.

Unfortunately, K-Pop was too busy trying to maintain his balance and not fall into the water during this little adventure to take any pictures or videos, so no documentation has been preserved for future reference. In any case, while the K-folks aren't ones to draw any premature conclusions, let's just say that no one is banking on any future crew scholarships.

Generally she is so tickled by this line that she will run around the house shouting at everyone in sight: "What are you so proud of?" which is a question that leaves the K-folks speechless.
