Canoeing

"Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats" ~ Wind in the Willows

One of the many highlights of the cabin was going out in Mike's canoe. Our cabin was situated right above a dam, which meant that even with a low water level, it was possible to canoe far up the river. Which was about 42 (Kateri's favorite "BIG" number) times better than when we got stuck in the shallows last year!

Sebastian absolutely loves the canoe, and though he has never actually spent time in it while it was in the water, he has enjoyed it on several occasions.

Kateri was thrilled to be able to go out in the canoe again, and Pat made sure that she was invited every time he went.

On her way down to go canoeing

Kateri was a big help in getting the canoe down near the water.

And she was careful to take all safety precautions!

And to follow all the rules.

It was splendid to be out on the water again!

Sebastian watched longingly from the shore.

He will have to wait until he is two!
