Labor Day Impromtu Adventure

My daddy is self-employed, and he had decided to work on Labor Day. I guess too many OTHER people were taking the day off though, because no one was ready for him and he couldn't work anyway. So we took off for a mini-adventure!

Mom & dad got this canoe a few months ago but we hadn't used it yet. I learned the word "boat" as they strapped it on to the car, and I was just amazed that there was a boat on top of our car and that I could see it out the front or the back windshield.

We didn't decide to go out for the day till later in the morning, so we packed a lunch and stopped for a picnic before it was time for the boat. I loved running around eating outside, but my big bib (hand made by my Aunt Becky) was a little tricky outside - I kept leaning over & then I'd trip on it. Lunch was fun. I got a pbj sandwich, and mom & dad had lunchmeat & cheese. I learned the word "meat" when they told me what they were eating, but I still am not interested in eating it myself.

After lunch we got "suited up" - which for me meant swim trunks, an spf shirt, and sunblock all over. I stole the bottle & liked to chew on it a bit, but that didn't last long.

And then I got strapped into a life jacket & plunked in the bottom of our big new canoe! It was fun, and I liked watching the ducks "run" by on the water, but I couldn't see too much from that seat. I didn't stay there long.
