Family Excursion: Au Sable River

A couple of weeks before my move to Florida my family and I took a day trip down the Au Sable River. It was my first time kayaking in years, 15 yrs to be exact. I was a bit nervous at first but with a few helpful nudges from my best friend Jessica I embraced the fear and after a few scary moments of playing the balancing game with the quickly moving river, I started to get the hang of it.

There were a few hiccups on our journey but we laughed through them and made some pretty amazing memories. Below are a few pics I was able to snap with an underwater camera. You'll notice about half way down that we are all sportin ridiculously awesome ponchos, that is because not even 20min into our 5hr journey it began to pour. Luckily my parents are always prepared, the ponchos kept parts of us dry...well dryer than we would have been :) That was just one of the stories we had to laugh at and take with us at the end of the day.

I'm excited for our trip down the river next year!

Happy Friday: Bring on the Sun

The light was gorgeous the other evening and the warm spring breeze was perfect, so of course I had to take some pics embracing this beautiful change in the season. I am so thankful for my family, most of the time they are more than willing to be my models :) Love you mom! Happy Friday All!

More New Moon Goodness

So my twi-hard friends and I have an awesome day planned Saturday, we are getting together for lunch and watching Twilight on Gerri's home theater screen and then headin to the Big Screens to watch New Moon. The day wouldn't be complete without some rockin ridiculously nerdy shirts, so I made one for everyone. Haha

Of course we have some that are on Team Edward and others that are Team jacob so I had to be fair but I am totally Team Edward. I know that I am acting like a 13yr old girl but it's fun...haha What team are you on?
