These are some friends of ours in Bellingham. Together they hold more than a few kayak racing records, including the Yukon River Quest 460 mile race. Heather set a new womens course record. Brandon and his buddy own the overall course record in a two man kayak. They mountain biked and hiked the entire Continental Divide. they paddled from British Columbia Canada to Baja California, yada yada yada. Too many crazy adventures to list. They're a blast with great energy and we are blessed to know people like this. They've driven the Astro to Baja and Alaska, and are again taking it to Baja this winter.
Enjoy this short video celebration of new life.

Awesome video. Cute kiddo and do you think he'll be kayaking soon? I bet he'll be great at it!
Only one problem I saw in the video...Their Astro didn't have a lift!
