Last summer when we visited French Creek, we took Grace out for a float in the canoe, but her wiggly little self got bored pretty quickly. This summer, however, she got really into it. She sat with Adam in a big inflatable canoe, and she got to paddle all by herself. (Apparently, the secret to success with Grace is to give her a job and to make her feel like a big kid.) We had such success with our half-hour float that we went out the next day for an hour-and-a-half trip. We had lunch on a rocky beach along the way, and stopped a couple of other places for some (very successful) crayfish catching. Tess sat in the big canoe with me and her grandpa, and then she took a turn with her daddy. She got to paddle, too, and she loved it (see her practicing below).
All of this fun on the creek was followed by some swimming in the creek. Thank goodness Adam loves the water, because there was no way I was getting in there with our two little water bugs!
