A Beautiful Day on the Current River

This past Saturday we went on a float trip with our church. Jaired's sisters and brother went with us, and we had a great time. The weather was perfect for floating, sunny and hot. The water felt so good! We got on the river around 9 a.m. to avoid the rowdy crowd that usually comes out on weekends. The first part of the float we had the river all to ourselves, but after a few hours we hit a bunch of people putting into the river and from then on we were passing other canoers constantly.

This is the second time that Edmund has gone on a float trip. He is always apprehensive when we put him in the canoe, but enjoys himself once we get going. He sat in the bottom of the canoe with his hand trailing in the water, catching the leaves floating past. We left Nathaniel with his grandparents this time, but will probably take him with us next time.

Two of Jaired's sisters, still dry, we must have just gotten in the river! :)

Considering how much we like canoeing and swimming it is amazing that this is the first float we have been on this year. Well, time has a way of getting away from us. I hope that we can go again before it gets cold. We'll see!
