If you know my family you probably know that we tend to frequent the Buffalo River area in northwest Arkansas. Usually when we visit we spend time hiking and maybe finding a spot on the river to swim in and skip rocks at. This year we were finally able to float the river. Initially our plan was to rent a canoe and a kayak, with Anna our oldest taking the kayak. I wasn't super comfortable with that idea, so we ended up switching to two canoes with Miles and I each taking one girl with us. It had been quite a while since I had been in the back of a canoe, but somehow Anna and I managed to stay upright!
