it's just natural.

completely enjoying this project with my whole heart : ]

We got to go kayaking on Monday (training), and we will be teaching kids how to kayak in the future. The cool part about this is that we get to keep the kayaks at the nature center, so we can basically use them whenever we want to. I had never been kayaking before, and it's so awesome. It's a lot like canoeing, but you are the one controlling your destiny (as in... will you knock yourself off into the water?)

On Tuesday we got to see the trail we would be finishing this round and also hosting an "Grand Opening" for it. We started the day off just hiking it to get a general feel for it... we may or may not have ended up getting lost for a little bit... 2 hours. ha ha. Surprisingly we didn' t start fighting the whole time. It was kinda cute.......hah. Obviously we made it out, with minor casualties and a little bit of embarrassment on our first real day by ourselves.
To our credit... it was an easy mistake to make and one small turn started us down the wrong path... and we did go back later and make it through the whole thing.

Our trail we will be working on is incredible. It goes right by a creek (with a rope swing that will be tried out before the end of the round) and runs next a cypress bog. i've never seen one of these before and i was missing out! really cool concept, those things.
life is good, i miss you, have a great day!
