If this works out right - I'm hoping it will show our new canoe!!!
Went for a ride on the river today. About 20 minutes from our house.
Saw Mommy Duck & 6 babies swimming madly ahead of us. SO cute. Some parts of the river were quite shallow & measuring with the paddle, from the front of the canoe, it must site VERY high in the water, because we could skim over 3 inch deep areas without hitting bottom!!
SO much fun. We had walked beside the river before. We dutifully put our life jackets on & during the canoe ride, found that at NO PLACE was the river more than about 3 1/2 feet deep! LOL I felt like an idiot wearing a life jacket but as hubby pointed out, nobody on shore would know how deep it was!
What fun.
I wanted to name the canoe Otter. My husband was joking that he wanted to call it Big Red (it's bright red). We settled on Pelly since the canoe is a Pelican. lol
Other names that were bounced around were Red Dog, Poppy, Red Poppy, Red Belly, Red Snake - we can get pretty silly, but were quite tame in our name choices. We should have carried it on more & had more fun!
Possible names welcomed just for fun (She's already Pelly)
luv, Kath
