{Canoe Trip} Red Pine Lake

I don't feel like writing too many words to describe our canoe trip this past weekend. We enjoyed good weather, great friends, and God's amazing creation. It was Brynn's first time out on a legit canoe trip, and she was happy and pretty much perfectly behaved.

Is there really anything better than a summer canoe trip in the Canadian wilderness?

She loved playing in the dirt!

“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” 
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods
