Sam A. Baker 2016

This past weekend was what we've termed "The Best Saturday of the Year." It was true to the name and was a fabulous weekend! We got there early because the kids did not have school on Friday. Again. Truly I feel like they've been out more Fridays than they've been at school since January! We quickly set off on an adventure with Wayne on the Ranger. 

The kids simply cannot stay out of the creek. And who can blame them??

It is such a beautiful part of the country and even though I would not call myself an outdoorsy girl, running water on a sunny day gets me every time!

Sadly, I didn't take any pictures after Friday afternoon! Mostly because I'm not brave enough to bring my camera or my phone when we go canoeing on Saturday. It was a very fun day though! It was only about 60 degrees and the wind could make it cold at times, but it was a great trip.

We missed some of our trip regulars this time and will be glad when they are back next year! We did enjoy having Laura, Cade and their boys this year. Laura and I grew up doing these trips with our families so it was nostalgic for both of us!

35 years in the books for this April trip to Sam A. Baker. Here's to 35 more!
