Oh, the Joys! Canoeing with Grandkids!

Oh, to share our love of canoeing with the grandkids.  To introduce them to canoeing, we canoed only about a mile on the Green River in Kentucky.  This was intended to give them a taste of being on a river, so that they would want to do more! The youngest had never been in a boat and was terrified that he would tip when we put him in the middle of the canoe. It took  five minutes of talking to him calmly, and then he was ready.  The oldest was also hesitant but didn't express it; we could just tell by the tenseness of his body and his reluctance to pick up the paddle.  But these photos show you the results.

Learning to Paddle!
