Saturday the boys, Ben, and I went out on the river for a little canoeing. The boys started out in the Canoe by themselves...NOOOOOO PARENTS ALLOWED...They said!
Well for 30 minutes Ben and I tried to be patience as they went spinning down the river out of control hitting the right bank, then the left, then turning backward, then the right bank... again, then the left!! UUUUGGG. Are you feeling my pain yet?
For those of you who know me letting that happen for 30 minutes was a lesson in PATIENCE...I HATE lessons in patience! Maybe the lessons keep coming because I haven't LEARNED my lesson yet...oh well that's a whole other topic.
Once the boys decided that Parents not being allowed might not have been such a good idea...they asked us for help...we had to stop to swap...so they swam a little... not by design..but is was funny! LOL :)
I should have know the next step in what was supposed to be my LAZY,...DIDN'T I SAY LAZY... RELAXING, drift down the river would turn into the Olympic trials!
Do you see the determination on that kids face?
Please! Can't we just RELAX people!! Drift...Drift...
No way mom we're gunna BEAT you!
Being the totally mature adult that I am, what did I say...No way suckus (ode to Mr.T)...I'll BEAT YOU!!
At the end of our SPRINT... record time...it only took us 2 hours 20 minutes for what takes everyone else 5 hours.
Just so that you know...I did suffer...my shoulders were very... very... VERY... sore...my kids...not sore at all!
