You want to know how the canoe camping went, huh? Well, I could just say, "great," but then you wouldn't get to hear about how A. and Jodi had to lift the canoe over a six-foot-tall beaver dam and one of the packs fell into the water.
Or how they had to slog through a hundred feet of brush in the water, pushing the canoe through murky muck to get to the shoreline.
Or how A. made doughnuts to bring along*, which resulted in him telling me the trip could be summed up for the kids as, "A hatchet in one hand and a doughnut in the other."
In other words . . . great.
* Yup, A. has started making doughnuts. He makes them from buckwheat flour and fries them in tallow, which you would think would be the worst thing ever, but it somehow works. We shan't talk about how much tallow is absorbed into the doughnuts, but it's certainly enough to keep hunger at bay for a good long time.

Thanks for the run down, Kristen! Sounds more like horrific than great, but I'm not a three year old boy!
Sandy Soes, in NC
sounds like a huge amount of fun and great memories being made.
Yep, that's a story the kids will talk about when they are old and gray!!!
