Peace River Canoe Trip




On Saturday April 19th, all three of us went on a canoe trip with Grandma Valerie and some friends. I was a little nervous at first, thinking that Spence would rock the boat and we would capsize. But we made it the whole way, 11.5 miles down stream, without tipping over. Spencer was totally cool with his hat and lifevest. When he saw Daddy paddling, he had to have his own paddle. We would paddle to shore and get out to swim, fossil hunt, eat, or whatever various times throughout the day. Spencer did not want to swim, the water was a little chilly. We did get him to nap mid day. I got in the middle of the canoe and he sat between my legs and eventually he fell asleep. We ended up making a "tent" with a beach towel so he could sleep and I could fossil hunt. It was a fun day.
