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:

The pictures are awesome. My favourite one is the one with the chair. My second favourite is the nice one of the cliff with Steve’s head on the bottom of the picture. Thanks for sharing guys. I had fun with you today.
haha, yea, I didn’t see Steve’s head until I’d already uploaded it but hey, its definitely unique.
SOunds like a lot of fun! Poor Canaan. My kids tend to get pink eye quite easily too. Careful, it’s super contagious.
Humm I think Canaan needs to come to California to get better….
By the way, I am not grumbling or complaining… that would be a sin…. I am just noting that there have been 10 pictures of really cool stuff… but… how do I say this…. !! Never mind just send the boy down for a visit!
love you, I hope you get better soon.
love and kisses
