It's been so HOT the last few days, but the boys really wanted to get the boat out on the big water. They rose early, to beat (some of) heat - and planned to paddle down river "a ways". There were a couple options - 5 miles or 12 miles. 

They had snacks and hats - water and binoculars. 

I picked them up at mile 5. Next time, they are certain they will do 12.
