Jessica and Nate flew out to Denver to celebrate Jessica's Birthday and for the Labor Day holiday. We decided to take the scout's canoe up north to a little reservoir near Boulder. As we boarded the canoe, we should have known from the beginning that something wasn't quite right!
Check out Jessica's knees! No wonder all we could do was to go in circles! Jessica and I were having major difficulty trying to "steer". The wind is blowing, Jacob is trying to help us out and little did we know but we had the thing backwards!
We must have looked like idiots going round and round and back an forth with Jacob trying to get us synchronized. At one point Jessica drops her sunglasses over the edge and then with quick reflexes reaches over to grab them in the water -- nearly sinking us and causing a huge wave of water to gush in on Jacob! It was really hysterical!
This picture just cracks me up!!
It was a fun day just relaxing by the lake!

Of course, Nate and Jessica got it right and went
clear around the lake!
It was a fun day!

That sounds like something I would do...too funny! So how did you finally figure out it was backwards?
That was too funny! Not to mention I had bruises on the sides of my knees for the next few days. I blame all our rowing problems on the backwards canoe, it had nothing to do with me yelling, "I'm the team captain!" or you yelling for me to stop turning us in circles! And Jacob was such a good sport to sit in a puddle of water while we made our way back to shore...I really am going to miss those sunglasses.
