We decided to meet Ethan and Richie for the weekend.  We drove down to paddle on the Elk on Saturday.  We got a late start - due to one person not understanding the meeting time?  Kids!  It was 14 miles, but didn't seem like 14 miles as we did have a good current.  It was fun having the boys paddle with us.  We set up camp that night and had a good dinner.  All slept well.  We had another good meal for breakfast and left that afternoon.  Our times with our kids are always cherished!

Oh, those bangs don't look good....
