See Grace Canoe!


Like last year's trip, this year's annual BWCA trip was another family milestone. Last year Sarah went for the first time (at age 8), and this year's trip was Grace's first, just a week before her 7th birthday. My father-in-law Kent also joined us--- I think this was our 6th canoe voyage together!

The weather was mostly fabulous; quite cool, with a bit of rain on Saturday, and then glorious sun and more cool breezes Sunday and Monday.

Grace did a great job canoeing and had a wonderful time, and as with any time that you do something with a child for the first time, it also made it extra special for me...but seeing something through Grace's eyes always does this for me!

A photo slideshow of our trip is here.
