A Kayaker is Born

[Randy Dodson]

while I usually have well wishes and congrats for new parents, I don't usually post them. but I have to say CONGRATULATIONS on the arrival of Luke. You see, not only is that the most awesome pic I've seen, but I also recognize an open boating brother (or nephew) when I see him.
Sorry Shelby but he's got OPEN BOATER written all over him.

Damn that kid is so cute it's ridiculous.

Wow, he is still a newborn and already has more hair than his daddy!
That's one heck of a picture, kinda reminds me of a certain biblical story concerning a baby, a wicker basket, and the Nile river...Just be sure to watch out for crocodiles!
Congrats, man, and say farewell to what hair you have left!

Thanks all very much for your kind words. Randy I don't think he'll be an open boater though I may be fooled he already has long legs that would be hard to fold up under an open boat saddle.

I am pretty sure though he's gonna be a paddler of some sort because the other night a week ago when the front came through and rained he was a little gassy! I've the same problem after big rains myself
