River Adventures

Meredith and David's house is right along the Chicago River, and even better it's just down the way from the boathouse where they rent canoes and kayaks. Meredith and David have been out a couple of times, but we never had been. A neighbor of theirs owns a canoe, but is moving to California and they're not taking it with them, so this also gave Meredith and David a chance to try it out to see if they'd like to buy it from them!

We got their canoe out to the dock and in the water. Then, Will and David took the canoe over to the boat house so Will could get us a kayak. Then the boys came back to pick up the girls. We paddled North of Mere and Dave's house for a couple hours, from W Belmont almost to W Irving Park Road and back.

Got them in the water!

Off they go to the boat house.

Waiting for the boys. Oh, and did you know we're sisters?!

David's back to get Mere!

Kayaking on the river

We saw a lot of Blue and Green Herons as well as many little duckling families.



It was a perfect day on the River! And was made even better because Pookers got to come home this afternoon.
