We haven't had an early spring around here for at least five years! Saturday we pulled the canoes and bikes out of storage, and embarked on our first canoe rides of the year.
The kids and their Gee cousins anticipating a ride:
Shawn, Isabelle and Nicki:
Caden, Ali and Maddie:
The water is still pretty low, but no one got stuck:
Nolan and Josh looked like such cute little "buddies" during their whole ride:
I'm always too nervous to let friends or cousins, who come over, ride in the canoe if Shawn isn't home. When he's there I know that he could rescue anyone from a capsized canoe (I'm not too confident about my own abilities in that department). Just when everyone was getting out of the canoes I heard some serious whooping from Shawn. I ran to see what the big ruckus was all about, only to see Shawn crawling out of the "very cold" water! He was the first to try it out this year:) (His canoe went over as he was getting out!)
So how warm is your spring? We've had a couple of days where the kids might've felt like wearing shorts, but that was almost a month ago. Sorry about Shawn!
ReplyDeleteOh too funny! Go Shawn! Gosh I'm jealous you have a pond!!! What a great thing to do to welcome spring.
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of fun. We had nice weather for a couple days but now we are back to rain just in time for spring break next week.
