We had a gloriously low-key Memorial Day, the highlight of which was attending our ward’s Memorial Day picnic at a private lake. Conditions were really windy (thus summarizing our entire spring in Colorado) but we decided to take the kids for a ride in the canoe.
Now, let me preface this by saying our last adventure in a canoe a few years ago did not end well. In fact, I had a good chuckle reminiscing about Camping, Capsizing and Crying (all in a weekend at play).
Not-so chuckle-worthy? The addendum at the bottom of that post about my near-nervous breakdown.
But I am proud to say we did not come even close to capsizing this time around and I was thrilled to see how far we’ve come.
At least until our next attempt at camping this summer.
