Heather and Livvi teamed up in a tandem kayak and Joie and I did the same. We headed out on our adventure.
We saw some wildlife such as turtles, frogs, cranes, and even a velvet ant. We even found a lake next to the river (thanks to fellow kayakers) which we think was an old quarry and Livvi took to jumping off the lone tree trunk.
After a few stops to eat and swim, eight miles and about five to six hours later, we made it to the end. The kids 12 and under were awarded free ice cream for collecting trash along the river. They also got patches for promising not to litter.
We were all exhausted, but had a great time. Only problem was I failed to use sunscreen and my legs are fried! We'll probably do it again, but I will be protecting my legs next time!! I would have loved to have taken a lot more pictures, but was afraid of getting my phone and/or camera wet.
Thanks to the Johnston's for inviting us!
