First Canoeing Trip

Vera and dad had the opportunity to go canoeing with friends one Monday evening.  Mom and Vince were sad to stay behind at home, but dad promised he'd take pictures.  She had fun telling me all about their trip when she got home.
*They drove in a big van with canoes on the roof to the river.
*It was really muddy when they put the canoes in the water.
*They were the only ones that had a blue canoe, and it had words on the side.  It was an awesome canoe.
*She collected leaves while they canoed.  Anytime there was a leaf floating in the water within an arm's reach, Vera snatched it and added it to her pile in the canoe.  Dad said she had quite the pile when they were done.
*They stopped two times to play in the water.
*There were lots of mosquitoes.  Good thing Kelly let them borrow some bug spray.

They canoed on the Stillwater River for about 2 hours.  Adam said Vera had her hand hanging over the canoe the whole time.  They were both nice and dirty when they got home, and it was a great outdoor adventure for Vera.
