Day 93 - April 3, 2010

Hooray for our first kayak of the season! Because of all the rain we've had up here, the wildlife preserve in Cromwell was totally flooded, and made for some amazing kayaking! Trees were half covered with water from the Connecticut River, and it was fun to paddle anywhere you wanted, including in between trees! We took Daisy out for a ride too - she's still getting used to the whole idea of sitting in a kayak though. Once she's in, she's pretty good, but getting her to get into the kayak is a totally different story altogether. I definitely hope we can get out there again soon - it's so relaxing and peaceful to be out on the water! If you've never been kayaking, definitely get out there and give it a try!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 92 - April 2, 2010

Tonight, Eric and I went over to visit with the Berrys for dinner and game night. Every so often, we all get together and it's always a blast! Tonight, we did make your own taco/burritos. In my opinion, any kind of "make your own" food night is always fun! I noticed on the windowsill of their kitchen this really neat plant that looked like (and may be, but I'm not sure) giant clovers/shamrocks. I'd never seen anything like it before! The leaves were about an inch and a half big each! Is there such a thing as a giant clover/shamrock plant? I thought it was very cool looking! Anyways, I am very excited about tomorrow - we're going kayaking! I'll be bringing the camera along (and will keep it in the dry bag of course) and hopefully snapping a few pictures!

Until Tomorrow,
