It isn't difficult at any age. The hardest part is getting in the boat, although at most of the lakes I pull it in and hop in. So, it really isn't too difficult. The colors just didn't do much for me, but, we have six, and 2 are multicolored and the others are one color.
I love a good vacation, but, we still camp out for the pony swim every year, even though the shore house is close! It is a group thing and they all love camping, although it is so freaking hot right now! My brothers all love camping and the family fun still drives it. Of course, my sisters and I love to have a nice girl vacation! :)
I don't know, El! I'll paddle by and pick you up! :)
