Canoeing Down the Saugeen

This afternoon we had our second class canoe trip down the Saugeen River. Last year was fun, but Debra was pregnant, so she has been looking forward to this year’s trip. The weather was beautiful, we couldn’t ask for a better day to canoe: it was sunny, not too windy and cool but not cold. We had a great time though our trip was marred by family sickness. Poor Canaan has pink eye, his little eyes look horrible! His eyelids are swollen and on top of pink eye he has a bad cough and cold! He was left at home with Key Zu who babysat. Debra and I too are feeling under the weather with sore throats, coughs and colds. But, we are thankful for the chance to get out this afternoon and enjoy the beautiful scenery, we got a few good shots of some beautiful trees. The water was low this year making a few areas difficult to get through, we got hung up a couple of times on large rocks but managed to get through. On one shallow part we were hung up badly and after finally getting ourselves loose we ended up going through some small rapids backwards! Here are a couple of pics from our afternoon adventure:
