I think I got really lucky with him. He was a gigantic baby and just was such a joy to me every minute of his life. I am very outdoorsy myself and we lived in a teepee for a while and I have photographs of myself on solo canoe trips on big lakes in the North Cascades. Of course I taught him how to canoe and his father taught me how to canoe. It is just one of the most enjoyable things in the world to do. I prefer solo canoe though. Avery can go anyway except once when he overloaded the canoe with people and swamped it. They lost a lot of gear and could barely get the canoe back out of the water.
Me the second time I was ever in a canoe on the lake in Texas:
7-day solo canoe trip on Ross Lake, 2008, about a year after my surgery.
I get what you're saying about temptation when you're looking at a french fries and stuff like that. I get that same feeling when I look at a picture of a canoe or a tent pitched on a little island. I would rather be outside for the rest of my life than live in a house.
By the way sportsdad, you're a great addition to our group. Thank you so much for telling your story. I hope you stick around and have good advice for others.
And even though talking is very important, I confess that some of my favorite posts are filled with photos, cartoons or actual pictures of family and our fellow members.
