When we got there the guy told us that the trip could take us 4-5 hours, so Leslie and I were looking at each other with big eyes. How are we going to do that with two canoes, and 3 kids, without snacks? We were expecting to rent canoes for about an hour, so we didn't bring any food. But we decided to be brave and just go anyway...
But then when we got on the buss, the craziness began. The buss driver was a real jerk, and talked to us in a really rude way. He was driving with the doors of the bus open, didn't obey the traffic rules, and stopped in the middle of the woods and told us to get out... And then the other people in the bus laughed, so he just kept going. Leslie was not really happy(neither was I), and suddenly he told everybody in a loud voice... "The mom in the back do not want to look up at me. She must be really angry"
And when we got to the river, instead of parking, the bus driver started making donuts and 8's with the bus(and a trailer behind) We just wanted to get out, and get started on our canoe trip, and thought he was being ridiculous.
But as soon as we got in the canoes we had a really great time. The kids were really good, and we paddled for about 3,5 hours... It was really fun. Leslie and I were a little bit nervous that we weren't going to make it all the way. But we paddled and paddled and finally we saw the stop sign that told us we were at the end. Hurrah!
"Spider on board!" That was Jacks comment when he saw this big spider. First he saw spider, and I killed it. Then right after that we found this one... I think it must have fallen into our canoe when we went under some big trees, where we had to bow our head so the branches didn't get us.
There was a butterfly that landed on Jacks safety jacket :-) A little bit hard to see in this picture... We also saw a crane, a beaver, a snake, fish and lots of turtles
