River Runnin'


I took a day off from work to go play on the river. Quinn and Alea were in a canoe and Kye was my faithful partner. All of them did great, but I was most impressed with Kye's ability to paddle the whole way. It was his first chance to canoe since he turned 6 this year.

I was willing to give Quinn a few tips about steering, but he declined the opportunity.

The river was high so there were a few riffles that were swift and fun to navigate. We saw many turtles, fishing birds and water skimmers. We stopped for a snack and munched on cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, crackers and hummus. We chowed down!

All in all, we spent about 2 hours on the river. Fun stuff.

Have you noticed a picnic tastes great on the water?
