DAY 3 OF VACATION

Tuesday was a pretty wet day here in the form of rain from around 1 p.m. to past 11 when we went to bed. But today turned out to be a beautiful day but also wet. We went canoeing before Aaron, Sherri and Becky left for home. We did a 3 hour trip. About 1/2 hour into the trip there was a hazard which they called a stringer. It was a tree down and also in the current. The point is to stay out of the tree. Well Milan and I did not achieve that, we went into the tree and also flipped our canoe. Then Aaron and Sherri also flipped and into the tree. The current was very strong there and we just could not stay out of the tree. Besides us being first time canoers we had to get wet right? Anyway it was a good time and nobody got hurt. What beautiful bluffs we saw along the way and some that they called chimneys, enough said. I did have a water proof camera also and had taken some pictures but guess what, the camera is in the Upper Iowa River somewhere :) We didn't lose anything else though besides a couple open cans of beer and the camera was about 4 years old. So that is how our week has been going.

VACATION

in decorah this week. We arrived up in Decorah on Sunday afternoon. Unlike last year right after the flooding at this same time, the camp grounds are busy. Yesterday afternoon was tubing down the Upper Iowa River. The water was a little cold just for a few minutes or so. I know it is hard to imagine but there was some laughing going on especially when you get stuck on the rocks because well maybe from a lead butt! Anyway we had a safe trip. The weather has been just right so far. Today we hope to canoe but the weather doesn't sound to promising for that. We will let you know tomorrow. Have a good day
