Sam A. Baker 2011

First, let me just say, whatever Blogger is doing with their spacing lately is driving me insane! Okay, on with the post...Sam A. Baker is one of my most fun weekends of the entire year. Yet, I never seem to take any pictures. I guess it's my one weekend I let myself have fun and not worry so much about the camera. Much needed break.

The weather was AWESOME this year. The best Saturday for canoeing that we've had in a while. And I didn't get my feet wet again, thanks to my wonderful Dad. We renewed yet again this year and had a great time canoeing together. And a big thank you to my Aunt Lee for keeping Lila so that Scott & I could go canoeing. Thank you!! Posing with Robyn & Myra - thankfully she took pictures or I wouldn't have any!

Dad & me..."renewing"

Nate & Myra - exploring - they really do have so much fun together. Nate could not wait to get out of the boat so that he could go be with Myra.

On Friday night, there was a paddle presentation ceremony. You see, my Dad makes paddles and you can achieve this award one of 2 ways. One is to go on 2 New Year's Eve Float Trip and the other is to go on 5 warm / summer float trips. My good friend Robyn finally made it to 5 years (they've been going longer, but having kids gets in the way of actually canoeing sometimes:).

These pictures came from my mom's camera and beware of my pastey white legs!

Nate & Scott did great in the canoe and Nate is at the perfect age for a trip like this. He had a great time walking in the water and catching things.

Great, as always, to see the Bakers & the Kollmeyers! Thanks for making the long trip to be with us. It wouldn't be the same without you!!
