We had a blast! Lots of laughs, a few screams, and many great memories!
This little Tot sarinaded Kaicee and I for some of our ride. I tried to get a video of her and managed running us into a tree...and now I can't figure out how to upload the video. Oh well. Just know that she was quite a hoot!
Within the first 2 minutes, Kaicee and I managed to slam into the side of the river bank and ended up paddling in a complete circle. Sadly, that was the first of many. We managed to run in to low hanging trees on the river bank (that dropped hundreds of spiders into dad and Kaicee's boat), paddle through more seaweed that I thought existed in a river,
get stuck on the rocky sand bar, nearly tip our canoe (more than once), see LOTS of turtles (we stopped keeping track at about 86),
almost catch a couple of those turtles, and just have one darn good last day of summer vacation!
Hey, we DID manage to do a little canoe swapping without tipping. That counts for something!....doesn't it?
Did I mention it took FOUR hours to float the river?...paddling the entire way because the current was just about non existent. We all had some sore booties (as Taylor would say) and very dirty hands!
We finished our trip here
and ended up at the soccer field before heading to bed for a good nights sleep.
Good bye summer vacation! We loved every day we spent with you while you were here! Now, our outfits are laid out in our bedrooms and backpacks are waiting for us on the coat rack...ready to start the new school year!
