What an amazing day for a new adventure and a new story! As I always tell the kids, if something doesn’t go a little wrong, the story isn’t nearly as interesting! We loaded up the canoe and the kayaks the kids got for Christmas to take them on their first run down a river. We had tried them on a lake and they loved it! We unloaded at Grizzard Park to hit a relatively short section of the Etowah! The kids were all amazing and Abby, especially, was a natural! They zipped back and forth and even back up river when they needed to! We saw tons of turtles everywhere, some heron and other birds and just enjoyed the beautiful weather. The kids loved the small rapids on this stretch which are easy, but a good test for them.
