Yesterday I went with some family to the Spring River in northern Arkansas. I went with my Uncle Pat, my cousin Mark, and my other cousin's husband Roger. Roger and I were in the canoe and Mark and Uncle Pat were in funyaks. The water was cold and the weather was great. Was a great day on the river! Mark let me have his pictures so I could share it with you. Thanks Mark.
Within 10 minutes, Roger and I crashed on a tricky turn. Roger lost his sunglasses, one shoe, a lifejacket, a paddle, his can of pringles, and most of his pride. Luckily, all but the sunglasses were recovered downstream. Here we are loading up the canoe again. This crash set off a string of wipeouts and we spent as much time in the water as we did floating on it. But it was fun!
Roger and I are trying to get on the same page.
Ecstasy....
...and the agony
Cooling off in the Spring River (swimming-- we didn't flip over this time!)
