do you canoe?

Er, Kayak?

We've had a bit of rain this past week, so yesterday Jesse planned a little day trip for us. The water levels were high and moving fast. We made a 3 hour trip in half the time...

I only feared for my life once!

(We came around a small bend and a tree had fallen across the creek... there was only about a 3 foot wide, 2 foot tall spot the water was rushing under. So under we went in our kayaks, limbo-style... I was so worried I was going to konk my head!)

I made Jesse give me a life jacket after that! But I didn't need it.. that was the only scary moment.

Check out that nice brown water... you can tell we've had a lot of rain!

It was actually kind of cloudy and chilly out... but I liked it. It was so peaceful and still.

We saw a family of ducks learning to swim, a great blue heron, and the cutest racoon ever swam in front of us. We also saw a family of badgers.

I immediately yelled, "a-DEEB-adeebadeeb-adeebadeeb!"

Quick, name that movie!

I had such a good time. I like to paddle.

We kept trying to race through the rapids and inevitably one of us would "spin out" of the current.

Thanks for a fun day, Jess. :)
