Why sore hands you ask? Well I went canoeing and camping this past weekend with Lindsey, Ashley and Mrs. Whitenight and the [extended] Whitenight Family. I honestly had a fabulous time with the Women - our group name from Ryan. I do feel like Lindsey got the short end of the stick having to share an air mattress with me tossing a turning all night but luckily she loves me, restless sleep and all.
The trip started with chatting and comedy on the drive up. Traffic was not on our side, so it was about 10pm when we arrived, but I dont think I have ever set up in the day light on a camping trip with the Whitenights, so really it was nothing new. Also, they are all such pros it was a breeze. The next morning we had some breakfast and then went canoeing. Mother Nature was all about us being soaked, and the rain came down several times on us. The Women also all flipped our canoes. It was the first time I have ever flipped, and with the exception of losing Lindsey's hat, was not a big deal. After canoeing we waited and waited and waited and finally the bus came to return us to our camp. The afternoon/evening ended up being beautiful! We had a delicious dinner of BLT's and great company. The kids kept us all entertained and I think Mrs. Whitenight ended up being the ladder ball champ!!! We sat around the fire and enjoyed s'mores and then hit the sack. The next morning we enjoyed fabulous pancakes curtosy of Mrs. Whitenight (I know you are all jealous), packed up, said our good byes and got on the road....back to the real world.
It was baby B's first camping and canoeing trip and I am sure it will not be his last. I had such a great time - thanks so much for letting me tag along!!!
