I remember my first experience of floating down a river in a canoe. I had been on a boat before, speedboats in beautiful Lake Tahoe, and on a fishing trip; but the first time I went canoeing, I was in a canoe with my sister Cyn.
We were on a weekend trip with Arlene and some of the members of the youth group from our church. We would have our food on the grill, such as barbeque and corn, and we would play Mindtrap at night. I remember that I forgot to pack an extra pair of pants and I only had one pair of shorts for the entire weekend.
On the only full day of our trip, Cyn and I teamed up to travel down the Russian River in a canoe. I remember thinking that paddling would be easier than it actually was, and I recall getting pretty tired after a couple of hours.
It was a long canoe trip and at one point I tried to put my one pair of shorts back on after they dried from the sun. I stood up in the canoe to do so, then we tipped!! Our whole boat capsized!!
It was a fun adventure because two kind men helped us and got our boat right side up. It was a great first canoeing experience and Cyn thought it was funny.
