maiden voyage

yesterday we FINALLY took our canoe out on its maiden voyage.
we bought it back in december, after spending all last summer searching
for one (without any luck)...
we drove up to hosmer lake and had such a great afternoon.
it was nice, sunny weather and we couldn't believe how
gorgeous it was up there. we paddled around, and saw lots of people
fishing, kayaking & canoeing. there were tons ducks and we even
saw a family of river otters that we followed for a bit. so cool.
the water was so clear we could see the bottom of the lake
and all the fish swimming around. thad was able to do some fly fishing
(luckily it's catch and release only...
cause the last thing we need is more fish in our freezer!!!)
