Canoeing

I think it was during one of our many walks along the Erie Canal this past summer that Grayer starting asking to go on a boat ride on the Canal. So "teasingly" we called up Grandpa Christensen and asked him to bring his boat on out to New York so Grayer could go on a boat ride on the Erie Canal!!!
Well, the last day of summer Grayer's wish came true and we went canoeing on the Erie Canal. We have a wonderful ward here in New York with members who will do anything for you!! We had many offer for us to borrow their canoes but we took the Carmack Family up on their offer because they live right on the Canal and we wouldn't have to transport the canoe! So we left Finden (he would rather swim in the water than ride in a canoe) with the Carmack's daughter, Lizzy (one of my Young Women) and off we went!! It was so much fun and very peaceful the scenery was beautiful and it was fun to have Grayer by ourselves where we could just talk to him!
