On our way home from Canoe Trip #1 this summer, we drove right along side the Methow River. Jason has wanted to canoe that river ever since, so last weekend he and Eric braved it. The boys and I dropped them off and they canoed almost 20 miles down the river and through rapids. The boys and I stopped to meet up with them every so often to check on their progress. It was fun!
It wasn't very safe, so Tristan just went a short distance with them.
Waiting for them to come by, we decided to swim. Ok, so the water was FREEZING and we didn't really swim, but we did get a little wet.
Here they come!
A little portage over these rocks.
Some of the fall colors that we saw.
Waiting at the end of the river. They ended up capsizing a few times and portaging a few times, but they enjoyed their trip. They saw lots of salmon and even a couple of beavers.
That weekend was the hydroplane races here in Chelan as well. We met up with Shawn and DeAnne's family, Rod and Carolyn's family, and Al and Rachel's family to watch for a couple of hours.
Wade being silly.
