What a great way to kick of the summer by being on the water. This past weekend we went with a group of friends canoeing/kayaking on the Coosa River in Wetumpka, AL. It was so much fun! I haven't canoed since I was probably 13 and that was at church camp. Rob and his family always went canoeing on the summer weekends so he was a pro. Everyone got a kayak except for Rob and I, we got a canoe. I liked the canoe b/c you had more room and they didn't flip over as easily. There were a few rapids we had to go through and everyone kept telling us that we would flip, and if you flip in a canoe it is hard to get back in a canoe. We never flipped. Rob and I worked great together. He was a little worried about me, like whether i would have fun or not since I am a girly girl, but i have to say i was proud of myself. We started on the river at about 9:45 and got done around 3:30. We would stop at rocks every now and then and get in the water to cool off and eat our packed lunches. Rob and I are ready to go again, it was so much fun. This is something we will probably do with our family one day.
This trip to the river was a great way to kick off our summer. Now we are looking forward to our week long vacation in Destin in about 2 wks and I can't wait. I hope everyone is having a great summer so far and not getting to hot.
