Daniel and I went to the REI Scratch and Dent sale this past Saturday morning! We woke up at 5:50 am (DP turned the alarm off at 5:15) and started getting ready! Coffee - check, food - check, something to read - check, chairs - check...Heather doesn't feel well - check! Uh oh! I started to head back to bed and decided to tough it out and go because Daniel was so excited! We sit in line...about 50 people back and wait until 10:00am when the store opens! It finally opens and we part ways looking for a few little treasures at rock bottom prices! Once we find each other and sort through our goodies we make one last stop to the "big ticket item" section...and low and behold before us...the perfect canoe! Daniel's eyes light up like stars in the desert! I could just tell...so what happens next?? Yep, we leave with a new canoe! Daniel was so excited he could hardly stand himself! So last night we went out on the lake with our beloved buddies from across the tracks (Lisa and Alex) and went canoeing and kayaking! We had a blast! We went from the dock to the beach to another beach and back!! Phew...what a workout though! So needless to say after that little adventure we will be experiencing many more summer nights on the lake and river!
