September, 2009

The first weekend of September found us traveling to Nebraska again, this time to help with Kristina's Aunt Rosie's wedding. This is the Morris family--our shirt-tail relatives that we consider family.

We took more pictures this time--this is some of us working hard in the kitchen, fixing all the food for the reception! (There seems to be a trend here....)

Second week of September found us on a new adventure--a four day canoe camping trip on Laurel Lake (about an hour from our home). Our friends Ernie and Amber came with us and we had a blast!

Ernie and Amber trying to learn how to steer the canoe, and keep their dog, Nellie, from tipping them over!

Nellie was fascinated with watching the water go past her nose!

We arrived at our campsite, unloaded our canoes, and heard a low rumble of thunder in the distance! We quickly put up our tents, threw our sleeping bags inside, closed all the containers, and dove in just as it began to pour buckets! (Looking from the tent window)

We watched the rain from this little window for over an hour. Then we realized that we were floating in a puddle of water! Our tent pad had no drainage! Daniel went out and dug a trench around our tent, and then we were fine. At least we stayed dry!

The next morning, it was sprinkling off and on, but not enough to keep us from exploring! We got into our canoes and set off to see what we could find. (Note the rain in the distance.)

It was SO quiet and relaxing out there!

Amber dropped off Ernie and Natalie on a rock island and then paddled away. Poor Nellie went crazy!

Nellie couldn't take it any longer, she jumped into the water and started swimming to Amber! She was rescued and put back into the canoe, much to her relief!

Eventually it quit raining and turned into a nice warm, sunny day!
