Water way to go!

So, Silas and I went canoeing last week with a group of youth from church. I had silas and the youth pastor in my canoe, good times on the might grand. Water was high and cooking along quite quickly. There were lots of little islands to go around.

We were told of a small waterfall was down one, so we tried for it and bombed over it just fine. As the little side stream connected up with the main part of the river, we came across and right into a fallen tree. A big branch was headed right towards me and we tipped over.

This was Silas' second time in a canoe, he sure wasn't happy with going in the water. I managed to grab ahold of him right away and held him above water. The top of his hat never got wet. He cried a bit, I lost my sunglasses to the mighty Grand, but all in all we were ok.

Moral of the story, everybody's ok and lifejackets save lives. So do former lifeguards.
