A Day On The River

What an awesome day! We spent about 4 hours kayaking on the White River, covering about 20 river miles. We rented our kayaks from the Happy Mohawk Canoe Livery and canoed from Cisco Rollway back to the Happy Mohawk Canoe Livery. Isn’t that a funny name, I thought it was. I was really impressed, they are a pretty small place, but they were extremely friendly, and very helpful. When we finished our ride, we were the last one’s out of the river, and they helped us take our kayaks out of the river, which I’ve never had happen before. So I was really impressed.

I took a few pictures on the bus ride to the point where we were putting in.

Once we got on the river we floated and paddled for awhile. An hour or so in we cracked open the cooler I had packed and passed goodies between kayaks. We got two tandem kayaks, so my dad and I rode in one, and Tyler and Trent rode in the other.

I had a Mike’s Cranberry Hard Lemonade and a Kashi TLC Roasted Almond Crunch Bar. I REALLY liked this bar. I’ve mentioned before, but I definitely prefer crunchy granola bars to chewy ones, and this was just what I’ve been wanting. They are very similar to Nature Valley Bars, but a little more nutty in my opinion. I can’t wait to eat more of these and be able to enjoy them a little more than I could in the tippy kayak!

A little later we stopped for a bathroom break (in the woods no less) for the boys. We also muched on some Organic Corn Tortilla Chips, I had about a serving.

Is it me, or is my dad secretly avoiding the camera…I think he’s worried I’ll put goofy pictures of him up here.

I think we all had a lot of fun!

Don’t these two look like they’re having a great time!

When we finished up at the river we started the drive back to the beach house stopping at Papa Murphy’s Pizza to pick up some pizzas to take home and have for dinner.

My dad and I got a large DeLite Chicken BBQ Pizza

It doubled in size when we baked it, look how huge it is!

While the pizza’s were baking I snacked on these Reduced Fat Cheese Nips (about 1 serving). I also drank about a glass and a half of Pinot Grigio before and during dinner.

I started out with 1/4 of the Chicken BBQ Pizza

However, I quickly decided after I demolished these two, that I wanted more, so I ate another 1/4, making the total 1/2 of the pizza. My daddio ate the other half.

We chatted with my dad for a little while, I cleaned up the dishes. My dad also showed us one of Chico’s newest tricks, opening the sliding door to our screened in porch. Chico also opens doors with lever handles. What a crazy cat. A little while later Tyler and I headed back to the loft, my dad stayed at the beach house with Chico, and Trent headed back to his apartment.

Isn’t he cute, he’s a fun to wrestle with too.

When Tyler and I got home we had a little dessert, some Flavor Ice. I had two actually, they’re very small.

We’re watching some TV now, then heading to bed. I hope you all had a great weekend.
Congratulations to Meghann on her marathon today! I hope one day I can do the same!
