Due to insanely busy schedules, we haven't been able to have a family vacation this year, but we were able to get away together on Labor Day weekend. Mom had the idea at the very last minute (as in, the same day we left). Daniel called a friend of his who owns a beautiful, HUGE lodge in the country, and he said we could come out for two nights. We enjoyed relaxing in the lodge, exploring all the cool rooms filled with antiques and collectable knick-knacks, sitting out on the porch, and canoeing down the river!
Setting off on our voyage.
Waiting for the parents to pick us up afterwards.
Our canoe trip was a crazy adventure! We hadn't been in a canoe in over a year, and had NEVER been on rough water. Well...we hit a lot of rough water. We almost capsized a few times, we kept getting stuck, and turning around and floating backwards, and Stephen even got left behind in some white water at one point when he got the canoe unstuck but couldn't get back in fast enough.
For a short version of the canoe trip highlights, watch this video...
Extended version (still just the exciting parts, with fun music thrown in).
