Biking and canoeing

Shawn has to work the night shift tonight and has been working a lot lately so he wanted to do something fun with the kids today. We decided to bike over to Lake Harriet, which is a couple of miles, and then go canoeing. Once we got to the lake and it was time to put the life jackets on Joe decided he absolutely did not want to go boating. I tried to get him to sit in the canoe but he refused. So we decided to sit on the shore and play in the sand while Shawn and Abby went out. Abby had a great time but only lasted about 10 minutes. Abby said she had a lot of fun but didn't want to do it anymore. Shawn ended up canoeing by himself for awhile and then we headed back home. I don't think it was quite the canoeing that Shawn had in mind but it was still a very nice afternoon.

Joe happy that he doesn't have to go canoeing.
