White Water Kayaking in Ontario with Ken, Kate, Naomi, Dave, Shannon, ...

When we told Ken and Kate that we head to East Canada, they mentioned a wedding they would go to and that they would be out there too. So, they ended up organizing a canoe trip. We went straight from the airport to MEC to pick up our rental canoe and drove to a camgruond 3 hours west of Ottawa where we met the rest of the crew.

Kate and Heather (Ken's sister) buying some more groceries.

We decided to practice a bit. Naomi shared her canoe with Shannon.

Dave and Christine discussing their theory.

Ken and Seppel getting ready. Seppel was sick and didn't want to get too wet so he shared the boat with Ken.

Kate and me. Kate gave me some instructions on how to paddle. It worked out good the first day :-).

Lunch time.

After lunch, Seppel and me relaxed and got canoed by Kate and Ken.

And there it was, the boys biggest fun part: The tree swing. Dave ready to jump down, looking up from the ground.

Can you see Dave on the tree?

Dave jumping in.

Seppel jumping in too.

Later on at the camp we all went for a swim. Naomi jumping in from a cliff.

For sure, the fire is on. We are getting ready for dinner.

The next day we had to go through 8 rapids. Kate and me, we swam at the first rapid but made it through the rest fine. It was fun going through the rapids! Kate and me at the second rapid.

Dave and Christine (Ken's brother's girlfriend) hitting the rapid. They somehow liked swimming and went in a few times.
