On Good Friday our friends invited us to canoe the Colorado River with them. It was so much fun! The perfect river to take a bunch of kids down because it was nice and easy.
Daddy, Tyce, Luke, and Mommy
Stopping to find shells on an "island"
Mommy and Bruce
We were all putting our canoes in when I hear a splash! Tyce had plunged off his into the water. I thought he had fallen in, but he "just wanted to go swimming." It was not that warm so I wasn't really planning on anyone swimming, but I guess Tyce had different plans! This picture is him later down the river when Daddy let him in to swim alongside the canoe.
Brek wanted to go on the girl canoe so here she is in the middle in the straw hat.
Bruce taking a turn to paddle
Once we got to the part of the river where we stopped the kids all jumped out and went swimming. Bruce kept running away from me into the water and I kept having to go in after him tennis shoes and all! Oh yeah, did I mention that Brock dumped me out into the water at the very end?! I thought he did it on purpose but apparently he tried to put the oar down and it ended up turning us and flipping us. Luckily it was shallow enough that I saved the phone and other "valuables" (food). Ha!

All tuckered out from the long day (but I'm not giving up my Sprite)
They were all asleep fast!
And after canoeing all day we went over to their house for a little grilling and movie! I thought they looked so cute watching Pete's Dragon so intently.
We had to go down a bumpy dirt road to drop off the car for canoeing and the boys thought it was so funny!
