So last weekend we went canoodling with some friends. We drove out to Buntzen Lake in Port Moody ish area around 10 am and rented a Canoe!

Yes, we headed out all fed a healthy breakfast, with a prepared lunc.... ahh.. wooops, forgot the lunch. Once you get in to buntzen lake and the parking lot is full, they gate it off and you can't return. So we knew we were in it for the long haul..We were out on the lake for 6 hours with no food of our own but lots of water. Thankfully our friends shared their delightful picnic! I can't believe we were so dopey and didn't bring our lunch.



It was a GREAT day! The kids loved it, and although my arms hurt the next day I loved it too! I think we'll do it again! You can see in both pics "who" is paddling and "who" is taking pictures... ahuh.. same person.. Michael exerted alot of effort "steering".. right! OK ok, in both pictures neither of us are paddling!

Haha no just kidding! We did find out that Canoeing is a reflection of your life. If you haven't gone canoeing before you marry someone and have kids with them, you should. If you can survive a 6 hour trek while also keeping those aboard intact then you'll have many a happy years married!


**note to worried parent: all aboard did wear life jackets for the duration of the trip. these pictures were just as we started!
love you Mom
