The New Canoe

The Evan.
The "I Love you Mommy."
Green Machine.
Mystery Machine.
The River Turtle.
Old Betsy.
Green Hornet.
The Jolly Green Canoe.

These are just a few of the names that have been suggested for our new canoe. None have stuck. Go figure!

As I was taking this picture (above) of the canoe on top of the mini van, I thought to myself, "Is this really my life?" Later in the evening, as Will was scrolling through the pictures, he chuckled and said, "Ever think this is what your family would look like?"

Here are a few shots of paddling in the back yard, and a pic of the hanger-contraption that Will built for storing the canoe in the garage.

Fabulous!!!! And funny, too, that you and Will were thinking alike. I'm predicting 'rivers' of family fun!

Canoe Trip!! It would be a lot of fun--though I have to admit we haven't had our on the water in three years!

I think the name "Pelican" should suffice, at least it's already printed on the side of the canoe. I do have my Cricut that can cut 12 inch letters if you wanted to do something super-sized. Should we look for Team Jordan in the Dragon Races next year at lake tobo? Thanks for the postcard, Savannah loved it! We were lame-0 and didn't buy any postcards from Tweetsie.
