Everything is better in a canoe







One of my favorite memories of the summer is when Joe, RJ, Kai, and I went on an evening canoe paddle after dinner up at the cabin in Ely. We went out to "our" island not far from the cabin to check if blueberries were ready to be picked yet (they weren't) - and we ended feeling like we were in a National Geographic TV special.

A beaver followed us the whole way, we saw a loon call right next to our canoe and then just a few minutes later 5 loons popped up to join this loon, all coming from different directions on our lake. Finally, a duck must have missed seeing us and almost hit my paddle and to top it all off, Kai looked into a tree right next to us and saw a bald eagle watching us.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Oh, and the s'mores. Enough said.
