Difficult Run July 2008

Robert's daycare friend Hannah (and her folks and baby brother) invited us to join them on a little paddling trip on the canal this morning. So Robert and I borrowed a canoe from Uncle Hank and Aunt Sally yesterday so we could meet Hannah and family somewhat early.

Well... best laid plans: When we got to the canal, it was pretty much dry -- I guess they are doing some work on the bank or lock. Fortunately, the river was right there and mostly flat at that point. We paddled upstream a little bit and across to where Difficult Run, a small tributary of the Potomac, comes in.

July 19, 2008. When we poked up about as far as the canoes could go, the older kids (Lucas was asleep by then) thought it would be fun to climb on the rocks. So we climbed around a bit (Laurence kept Lucas company and in the shade), played Pooh sticks and tossed rocks in the creek.

I think everyone had a good time and I know Robert is sleeping really well now. July 19, 2008.
