Rejuvenating Canoeing

Posted on the 06 September 2011 by Marensmorsels @marentweets

Today has already been jammed packed with fun and it’s only 1:50pm! I’m feeling pretty tired but the fun is only beginning so no siesta time… yet.

Breakfast

I had another greek yogurt and cereal breakfast. This time I had a Trader Joe’s honey yogurt with cinnamon checks. This one wasn’t as fun as yesterday’s fig yogurt but it was still really tasty.

Last night we were up late playing scrabble and eating dinner. I kept dinner really light with a few bites of spicy chicken sausage and grapes.

I lost that scrabble game because my last letter was a U and I couldn’t play it anywhere! Gah! So frustrating.

Anyways… today we had a 6 mile canoe float on the agenda at the SunRiver Marina. So we left the house at 11pm.

I take canoeing very seriously… apparently.

No time for smiling… apparently.

Half way down the river we found a flock of moocher ducks who almost ate out of our hands. They swam with us waiting for chunks of peanut butter granola bars. They’re my kinda ducks! :mrgreen:

The end of our trip. I worked up quite an appetite steering that canoe so I made a huge turkey wrap on a brown rice (gluten free) tortilla.

On my wrap was:

  • brown mustard
  • romaine lettuce
  • turkey breast
  • colby jack cheese
  • and pepperoncini :-D yum yum yum!

While I made my wrap I couldn’t keep my hands off a few chips with spicy hummus.

And I finished my meal with watermelon (and a piece of english toffee).

Of course the toffee didn’t get pictured. It was in my mouth way before I could get my hands on the camera. :mrgreen:

How was your long weekend? What was the best part?

What flavor of ice cream is the BEST?

Do you miss match your socks on purpose?

Would you rather have a cupcake or ice cream cone as your mid-afternoon snack?
