My wife and kids took me to opossum lake today. My wife and son got to use their new kayaks, and my autistic daughter and I had the dog on the canoe. Found out my 200 pound daughter has no balance at all, and the dog doesn't help either. Finally had to have my daughter sit on the floor instead of the seat to lower the center of gravity. It all worked out and we had a good time.
I hope that everyone had a good time on Father's Day. Just because a child has a handicap isn't a deterrent from doing a family activity. It can be a challenging task, but it is doable.
