Rolling down the river

We got to take advantage of probably one of the last few warm days of the year and went canoeing. This was the girls first time being out so they were excited and nervous. 

It was a little chilly on the water so I rummaged through their closet to find "water" proof warm clothes.  

We all had a blast all seven hours on the water plus no one got dunked so that right there was an amazing feat. I had to jump out of the canoe a couple of times to get us off a gravel bar, but it wasn't bad. We even hit some small rapids. 

I think the kids favorite part besides the rapids was that we rescued a kitten and took it to dry land. It was a very sweet little thing, but we could only do so much being out on the water. 

Everyone was wore out at the end of the trip. We made a pit stop on the way home to fill our empty bellies. 

It was a great family Sunday together.
