The river has been high this summer, and the day we went out was the first day the guide had taken a group out in a a few days because of the fast current and unsafe conditions. This wasn't the most reassuring to our novice group, but we decided to go ahead and give it a try.
The kids were all really excited to get moving. As we loaded up, the wind really picked up and paddling was quite a chore. We literally went about 100 yards upstream before being blown into the weeds, at which the point the guide said, "This might not work too well today." For most of us, those 10 min on the water were enough to get a taste of canoeing, and we were ready to be done and return to the safety of land!
I can only imagine what our guide must have been thinking!

I pulled Max's front tooth out the day before while riding in the car with him!
Going nowhere fast!
A favorite picture of mine of Anna!
Safe and done!
We walked to see the falls after canoeing. It's a good thing Luke's family stayed safe with their life jackets on!
Silly M & M
Later that same day, Brian took Adam and Ben out and the winds had died down and they had a very enjoyable canoe trip.

haha, chuckling now that I see that picture of the gang waiting to canoe. That guide must have been thinking, "Oh, you've GOT to be kidding me."
