Water, water, everywhere!

Fantastic!
No other words can describe today. It was a lot of fun. Sunny, hot, and everyone had their smiles on. We practiced our strokes, quick turns and building up speed with control. After some practice, Neil, Shane and Amanda put us to a test...run down a hill, transition into our water gear and paddle out to some balls in the water. After scooping one up, paddle back to shore. Simple enough! HA! Bev, my amazing partner for our canoe race, jumped in the boat and we got ourselves moving in the right direction. We got a ball and began the race back to the shoreline...but...we don't know how it happened...tip...and we were in for a swim! We stuck it out and dragged the canoe with us, all the way back to the shoreline - exhausting yet refreshing :) Thanks Bev for sticking with it! Ya never know what's going to happen when the girls get together.

Round two. We set up in a star pattern, bows together. We headed off to steal balloons taped onto the rear of our boats. It was a great test into maneuvering our canoes and quickly chasing down an opportunity...this time it was Keri and Szerenka into the water! (along with Szerenka's shoes and Keri's back pack - which was full of car keys) Needless to say, those keys went down with the ship, along with a shoe. Back to the shoreline and a moment to regroup...back out for a swim to see if we could locate the missing items...sad to say, they are in the murky water, never to be seen again.

All in all, a fabulous day - lots of laughs - and of course, another great story we won't soon forget :)
