Canoeing in Gator Country

Yesterday we had a great trip into the Florida swamps. Kathy, Noah, Ayla and I went on a canoeing trip down the river at about 30 mins drive from the house. Thank goodness we could paddle downstream with the current on a 4 mile stretch of the river. Since this is the middle of the rainy season the water was very high which made the trip even more exciting. There was water everywhere and you couldn't say where the river ended or where the forest started. Most of the time it was like we were canoeing in the forest and we had to work hard not to bang into the trees.
Great to be away from TV and computers for a day!!
