Catch Up

Ok, So we're really far behind here. It's been a while since Bobbie's birthday and quite a bit has happened. So we're going to try to catch you all up with some multiple event posts in the next few days.

So first things first, Happy Birthday to US!

Kirsten and I bought each other kayaks for our big birthday gift this year. We had been wanting some for a while, and since we just moved to the great northwest we thought what better time? It actually worked out well because since our birthdays are in the fall (the end of the kayak season) we got a really great deal!

But we weren't content to wait until next spring to test out our new toys...so last weekend it was off to the mighty Sandy river for us! It was probably about 50 degrees and drizzling. Oh, and the water was cold. Really. It was cold. Trust me. Don't ask me how I know that. Just know that the water was cold. 

But other than that it was INCREDIBLE. I wish we had some pictures, but it's kinda hard to pack a camera for a day out on the water. But I really love kayaking. It's like hiking, only there is no trail, just a river. So it really feels like you are right there in the middle of nature. No signs that any other person has ever been there. I felt a little bit like I was in the middle of a Planet Earth episode. Plus we saw two bald eagles! Yea, I know! Bald eagles. Who knew they actually existed in the wild, but sure enough. 

In other news, We now have sweet tea at both Wendy's and McDonald's now! I'm telling you, we are making an impact on this place. Soon there will be queso and sweet tea flowing in the streets.

More tomorrow!
