Happy Summer!

Today is the official first day of summer, although it has certainly felt like summer for a few weeks now.

We kicked off summer in a great way this past weekend. We went on the annual Wisconsin River Canoe Trip. Ross and I have only been on it for 2 years now, but Shan and Jerm and the girls have been going for quite a few. It was a great time. We brought Winnie, and she was awesome. She was even swimming in the river a bit, and enjoying it, I think. I was a tad nervous about bringing her...but I think she had a really good time, and I think that everyone had a good time with her. She definitely added a different element, but a good one at that.

We tried a different stretch of river this year. It was cool; there were hardly any people, so we pretty much had our pick of islands/beaches to camp on for the night. I think we found a pretty good one, too. Plenty of space for Winnie to run around, which was good. The girls did an awesome job of playing with her; she sure did sleep all the way through the night! Here she is all pooped out :)

We had a little bit of rain; not too bad though. At one point, we were trying to canoe against 30 mile an hour winds...that was a bit rough, but it didn't stick around too long. We even saw a rainbow for a brief minute.
And check out this sunset pic that Ross got:
Nice, hey? Good times, good times.
