Take me to the river, 

              drop me in the water...literally

The best laugh of the day happened midway.  Big Johnny's boat turned sideways through a rapid, and if you turn sideways on a rapid, you're gonna flip.  And flip they did--three kids and all!  It was half scary/half HILARIOUS watching  the struggle from downstream.  I am so bummed we didn't film it--Nick was seconds away from having the camera ready to film Nicholas in the kayak--but didn't make it in time.  They were drenched of course--with an hour still to go.  They all handled it well but poor little J had purple lips and teeth chattering and...

little guy was just plain ticked!  Georgie came into our boat and just kept saying, "that was just HORRIBLE the way I was stuck under the boat!"  We all giggled and giggled the whole way back.  Camille (who had been quite somber the entire day) perked right up after the spill and repeated at least ten times, "Johnny fall in da water (huge smile!) real funny!" 

 

There are some really neat tunnels on the way there and back--we hold our breath as we go through.  Some of us can do it, and some of us can't.  We sang lots of camp songs as we paddled.

Just our luck, there was a pretty good breeze so the ride home was a little challenging, I thought big boy's mini muscles would give out, but he stayed tough.

All's well that ends well.

Why did I write three posts? 

Blogger only allows me 5 pics at a time.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
