As we set out across the lake it didn't seem as quiet as I remembered it. Oh wait, we have a couple of extra passengers.
Once we convinced Emma to sit reasonably still the day was filled with questions.
- How come you paddle like that?
- What are waves?
- Are there fish in the water?
- Can I paddle?
- Is it time to eat yet?
- Can we go in that boat?
- Why does Grandpa always sit in the back?
- Can I get out now?
- Are we done yet?
- Can we do this again?
Emma decided to be brave and try the water and Sarah took a quick dip but preferred land.
As we made our way back the girls were learning the art of relaxing in the canoe and the questions were slowing down.
It was a great day; perhaps not as quiet as I remember our canoe trips from last year but very fun. We are so enjoying our little visitors and are going to make the most of every day. As we loaded the truck the girls looked happy and it wasn't very long before the backseat grew quiet. We drove home with the music playing and talking about what great grandkids we had.

Awww - so cute!!! Looks like you tuckered the little girls right out! Haha! Oh you are going to miss them terribly when they have gone back home but I know from staying with my grandparents on the farm every summer that you are making very good memories for them. Wonderful!
