Late post.

To start off the new year we decided to go canoeing together (our first time). I have canoed before with a large group of people and we would always race and run away from the overly excited guys who always had it in their mind to flip us over, might I add that there are gators in the creek. So as we set ourselves in the water, I was ready to paddle, like in full speed; I guess my body just recognized what I did before and automatically had a switch go off. Oh boy, i won't forget the look on Marks face; He thought we may have been in a war zone. Of course he didn't understand why I was paddling to the extreme and I was unsure why he wasn't joining me. But before long, he told me to slow down and we talked it over, seems to me I just didn't know how to relax and actually enjoy the canoe (oops). Besides the silliness, we had such a pleasant time. The water was so still, and we had some rays of sunshine playing peekaboo through the trees. In Florida, winter typically exists for roughly two weeks and then all year round we have got the beautiful warm (sometimes extreme) sun. Today was the perfect day to spend on the smooth and sparkling creek; we grabbed some lunch and took it with us on our little adventure. I love spending my time outdoors especially exploring the nature, this is defiantly going to be something we squeeze in our regular schedules.

Plus who doesn't love ice cream for dessert?
