There will be no pictures on this blog post–mostly because I’m not crazy enough to bring a camera or cell phone with me and 3 boys in a canoe. \u00a0So you’ll have to settle for word pictures instead. \u00a0Titus, Asher, and Zeke took me canoeing on Beebe Lake<\/a> yesterday. \u00a0The wind was whipping and jet skiers made our lives pretty interesting. \u00a0I have to say that I’m a sucker for adventure–the trip\u00a0was fun, but I didn’t really wake up until I realized that\u00a0it was going to be impossible to\u00a0get back to our landing\/car with me sitting in the back and the boys up front! \u00a0In the end, we figured it out. \u00a0Here are the different configurations we used, front to back:<\/p>\n

Titus – Asher – Zeke – Dad<\/p>\n

Titus – Zeke – Asher – Dad<\/p>\n

Asher – Zeke – Titus – Dad (this one was by far the worst!)<\/p>\n

Titus – Zeke – Dad – Asher (finally, the perfect arrangement! \u00a0Zeke and I shared the bottom of the canoe. \u00a0I got wet, and it was tough to stretch my arms out far enough to paddle, but the weight balance was finally even!)<\/p>\n

We got to talk about private property, public access, tubing, why we didn’t use\/own a motorboat, wind, waves, fishing, steering, how to live on an island, and a bunch of other things. \u00a0We even dropped a fishing line in the water every once in a while. \u00a0It’s fun to have adventures together!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
