"There is magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, magic compounded of distance, adventure, solitude and peace." ~ Siguard Olson

Your father and I took you to Kejimakujik National Park on August 5th, 2011.  It was a day full of adventure.  We hiked, picnicked, danced in a Tipi and canoed.  Your body wiggled all over when you tried to get into that boat!  You barely knew what to do with yourself!  You had a look of cautious wonder on your face.  And that paddle: you worked so hard to move it through the water.  Your declaration of excitement in the beginning and exhaustion in the end, told us what a magnificent day you had.  We were so proud of you.  You were always a trooper.
