Moonlight Paddle!

We went on a moonlight paddle adventure with a group of social work students and others....here's us at sunset...it was windy!
There were a lot of downed trees from Katrina and Gustav.


It made me so happy to be in a canoe again!!!
We were paddling in Gator country....We didn't see any though! We paddled back after the sun went down and we weren't near the beginning or end where the men with the large spotlights were...but 2 of my classmates saw a little alligator and at the back they saw a bigger one with like 8 babies!!! So we were in the right neighborhood, but our headlamps weren't strong enough...

This was honestly my perfect day....relaxing, not stressing about school and paddlin with my honey and watching the sun go down. I really enjoy these times when I don't have something due or have to be at my internship or work study or running around like a chicken with my head cutoff!

Great photos! You know, it's alot safer paddling in MN, all you need to worry about is dangling your arm into the mouth of a muskie! But then again, I guess the results would be fairly similar! Love MN Mom

Glad to see that MOST of you were wearing life jackets! Are they gator-proof? Lovely picture of the sunset behind the grasses...you should frame that one!
