Boy, oh boy! was my weekend ever fun!
THURSDAY - after work, i met with Em and Jemima. We went to Celia's place, talked for hours, ate, and then we went shopping! I didn't buy much. So did they, but it was already 9pm when we got home! Our husbands were worried! None of us bothered to give them a call that we were going to be late! Sometimes, we just have too much fun that we forget we have a family waiting for us at home... It was clean fun, by the way, no booze or whatever... we just like to talk and eat and shop. I'm glad I'm blessed with good friends.
FRIDAY - we went canoeing on Namekagon River. The canoe rental place is about 6 miles from Spooner, so it wasn't that far. From there, they took us to a boat landing which was about 5 miles. I was really excited because i have never been on a canoe before! I was a little scared too coz it's not really a big boat and you have to keep still or else it'll tip over, or so i thought. The day was so pretty, the sun was out and there was a gentle breeze... So off we go down the river. I was all smiles and giddy! Looked around trying to seek some form of life. We saw quite a few birds flying around, some trying to catch a bug on the water and some just staring at us from a tree or a log nearby. There was quite a few turtles on the bank on top of some log or a big rock trying to get a tan. We saw different kinds of fish in the water too! The water was so clean and clear... We even saw a couple jumped in front of us maybe trying to catch a bug or something.
The water was so shallow that i felt foolish to feel scared. I think the deepest there was, was 4 feet or less. It was so shallow that we got stuck a couple times. We had to get out and push the canoe 'til it floats again. Although, we partly blame our weight for that! There was one spot where the current was pretty strong and big rocks all around! It was exciting! Rick got wet coz we hit a big rock that sent water flying his way. It was fun and exhausting at the same time. I wish the seats were more comfortable and have a back so we can kind of lean and rest once in a while. It took us over three hours to get back. We didn't even notice we were gone that long. There was just so much to see that we forgot about time. But we felt the pain after we got home. Our back was just so sore for sitting so long... We didn't have to paddle as much, we just drifted mostly, so our arms or shoulders is not sore at all! We may be sore but we had fun and we are surely gonna do it again!
SATURDAY - we just stayed home. I did my chores while Rick putts around with his plants. He made my favorite beef stroganoff over rice for supper! Yummy! We finally put the boat seats in so we are gonna give it a test drive tomorrow. Rick and i are already toasted from the sun. He's red and i'm black! Arrrgh!
Another day of sun wont hurt...
