Canoe Camping

We pieced together a last minute camping trip last weekend with these two wonderful individuals.


Jesse and Lauren put me in their canoe and Aaron paddled in his sea kayak. I think this may be the new car camping...plenty of room, no driving to your destination and less people!


We had some clouds, but mostly perfect weather.



Jesse found this rubber ducky while doing his business, from a duck race they do every year. Lauren promptly strapped it to our bow.


When we got home we went strawberry picking and made jam. My co-worker told me how you can make jam without pectin...this probably works, but we were making so much it would have taken hours...anyway we were still up until midnight. We picked up some rhubarb too and made strawberry rhubarb, but I think it got burnt or something because it didn't turn out very well.


Aaron accidentally ladled some onto his thumb. It was red and he kept running cold water over it and saying it hurt. Today it turned into this:

And actually it's double that now. It looks like it's going to rupture. Kind of gross.
We went for a long hike after work today, I love having beautiful places so close to home. I hope we can get some more sleep this week...why is there never enough time in the day?
