Race You Around the Lake!

So I decided to go on a canoe trip. Ok, well my people just put me in there and took off. But, the important part is I really liked it! I don't know if you heard about my jump off the paddle boat earlier this summer, but it was a BAD idea. I guess I got carried away, when my girl swam right by me! I got soaked, scared, and my mom freaked out a bit too. (although later she said I looked like a super cute muskrat without the musk!)

But I digress. The paddle boat incident is behind me, and I am in therapy so I should be over it someday.

THIS trip around the lake was really much more fun. And I never jumped off. I got to ride with mom and dad. I wanted to see where we were going, so I did a lot of hanging over the side!

We saw lots of lilly pads, and even a muskrat or two. I wanted to get closer!

Pluto was in the paddle boat with the girls, so I figured I should jump over there, and he tried to jump in with me, and we had a great time jumping back and forth until they made us stop. Maybe we were rocking the boats a bit too much? Crazy fun, if you ask me!

I think I am a good navigator, and I kept telling these people where to go next but they would not listen to me. Whatever.

I found plants to attack!

and I am pretty sure this canoe paddle was sassing me. I was not taking any chances, so I tried to just bite off a few pieces. Dad got mad about that, and said something about needing the paddle to get back to our house? Whatever!

Hey, how about sharing some of that watermelon over on THIS boat?

Hey, what is the big deal? Is somebody trying to get rid of me? Dropping this in the water, thereby tempting me almost beyond reason to jump in.......c'mon Chena! Are you trying to drown me here or what?

Passed that test. I will just sit here and look adorable. Oh look! My reflection is so cool.

Yeah, I think I could run this show. Tune in next time when I leave everyone home and take the 'ole canoe out for a spin by myself.
