Yesterday - Canoeing

Hello. I didn't do the blog yesterday so I thought I would tell you about it today as we had a great time.

First of all though Happy Easter! :) This morning me and Euan have had an Easter egg hunt and I have had some Diet Coke because I gave up fizzy drinks for lent. I almost managed to do it I just forgot one time. Whoops! :)

Yesterday we went canoeing. We had read about it in our guide book and what you were supposed to do is canoe to a mountain (or so we thought) and then canoe back. Unfortunately we could not find the mountain which was really only a hill but we still had a great time. Me and Mum went in a canoe together and Dad and Euan went in another. My favourite part was when we had to dock the canoes because it was quite hard but fun to try and work it out. We had about a 4 hour canoe trip all together but I think we would all agree that was quite enough. It was a lot harder going up-stream than down-stream so on the way back it took half the time. Me and Mum found it hard to steer and to not keep having rests and relaxing! In the end Mum spotted a big boat comming behind us so we decided to steer towards a tree but not go into it. But as you can probabally guess we ended up in the tree with green stuff on my clothes failing to steer out of it. I don't think the people that were on the boat thought we were experts!

Today we are going to cycle to a beach and just relax.

Thank you for your comments. Neve

  1. Happy Easter to you too. Having read your blog it seems that is exactly what you are having. The canoe trip must have been great fun even though you did end up in a tree. What did you look like!! The mind boggles just thinking what those poor people on the big boat thought of you. Women!! Relaxing on a beach with ice creams sounds like a good idea for today. Lots of love Grandma xx

  2. Happy Easter to you all - a bit late but we've just got back from Uncle Richard's! Sounds like you had a fun day although I don't think it would have been fun for me as I would have been too worried about falling out and my head going under the water!! What a lovely time you've had - yet another trip to remember! Lots of love N xx
