We kicked off Fall with a nice visit from Oma and Opa; although we had some hot weather on Friday/Saturday, it cooled down quickly on Sunday and Monday. We biked downtown to the market on Saturday where both kids got soaked running through the fountain. We continued the water theme and had a picinic dinner at Sandy point beach in the afternoon. The water was a bit cold, but it was nice to get out of the heat. Sunday we took a walk on the green belt and while the kids were napping, Opa took Grady and I down the river on our canoe. There are three drops on the river which everyone, but Grady were nervous about in the canoe. We made the first one and the second, but didn't have such luck on the third. When we go to the top of the drop and look down, straight down, we knew we were in trouble. Even though we survived the drop a wave poured into the boat and quickly filled it up with water. Both Opa and Grady bailed out; I managed to stay in -although it didn't make much difference, I still got soaked. We saved all the gear and climbed back in. Had it been a typical summer day it would have actually felt refreshing, but it was much cooler than normal. Despite our spill it was great fun (we won't be taking the kids for a few more years)!
PHOTOS TO COME.
