Howard Prarie Lake Resort ~ Boat Rentals :)

Our second day at Howard Prarie we decided to rent a canoe and a 15' fiberglass boat. It was $60.00 for both of them for the day. 6am - 7:30 pm and you could go in and get gas refills as often as needed ~ no extra charge! We thought that was a great deal and had a wonderful day out on the water.

DJ and I set our alarm for 5:30 am so we could start a pot of coffee and get the boat early ~ There's nothing like being on the water as morning dawns or at dusk!

Waiting for the coffee......the view made the wait so worthwhile :)

Good Morning!

Let's get going!

After breakfast some of us went out again and found a pretty little cove......

They were off to a great start! ~ Then the wind picked up so we took the other boat out to where they were and pulled them back in!

What a fun and relaxing day! It was a great way to get out and enjoy God's awesome Creation.
