Canoe Trip...

or according to my Uncle Ben..."survival trip"
It started off fun! We were all so excited! Aunt Amy bought us fishing nets... we were ready to go!
Here I am in Uncle Ben or Uncle Tim's kayak. Don't worry, I am just pretending... my mommy really didn't let me go out on my own!
Here we are! There were 3 canoes and 2 kayaks. Only one canoe tipped over but we won't say which one, right Aunt Amy? After the first hour, everyone was more than ready to go home. Sadly the trip lasted 2-1/2 hours! I was bored... just sitting in the canoe doing nothing! I wanted to row, but mommy said I wasn't allowed. The water was VERY shallow so I kept feeling the rocks beneath the boat. PLUS after the Hurricane wind storm... many trees and branches were in the water. We had to get out of the boats and carry them over some trees. Then my mommy got stung by a bee on her wrist. She cried it hurt so much! Poor mommy. Don't worry she is ok now.
We got out of the boats for a while to try to catch some fish. Aunt Sally got one, but we had to let him go. We didn't know that would be the only fish we would catch!
It was an experience... but not one I will repeat anytime in the near future unless I can quit whenever I want to !
