A HUGE THANK YOU

[justanovice]

Well, "swimming" once is just bad luck perhaps, but "swimming" twice is simply humiliating. As I ventured into this journey, I just kept praying that my kids wouldn't accidentally dump in such cold water. My prayers were answered. Maybe I should have included myself in those requests.
Cowper, Cole, John, and Debbie: Thank you so much for all of your help today and not letting me freeze to death on the Cadron. You all just needed a refresher course in rescue and I was there to provide that opportunity to you...twice. Each one of you was more than gracious in your rescue efforts.
By the way, Noah had an absolute blast. Caitlin's response? "It was cold."
Thanks again for rescuing us novices.

It was great to see you all out on the water. Maybe next time I can get one of my kids to join us, but that may have to wait for the spring. They do not like the cold.

Don’t beat yourself up too bad – swims happen! I was really glad the young ones did well and managed to stay dry, and I was glad Debbie was able to fix you up with some hand warmers. One of the great things about Cadron is that with the run only being 3.5 miles, you can take a chance on a cold day, without it becoming a long, miserable experience.

Debbie said she thinks Noah enjoyed the put-in most of all. When it is warmer, we’ll let him go from the top of the hill! There’s also a seal launch rock on the Big Piney we need to introduce him and Caitlin to.
