Today was a special day. It was Forrest's very first time in a paddle boat down our river. AND....his Granny and Grandpa were along for the ride along with myself! Yep, veteren boater Alex held down the fort with baby T as we braved the near 100 degree heat, miles of lovely river, and those BIG, (okay, so really smallish!) rapids. But, with my own Mom and my 3 year old in the boat, those smaller rapids seemed all the sudden pretty tricky!
Everyone did great! My Dad and I rowed us down 10 miles of river, Forrest did as well as a 3 year old could do and even swam with his lifejacket in the river, and my Mom was our Pilot...or coxswain...or just our leader, keeping us all in line :-)
We picnicked, enjoyed several dives off rocks, and braved the rapids.
