Bday Celebration

Its a good thing I'm flexible.  Today the plan was to spend the day on the river celebrating my birthday.  Mother Nature had a different plan.

The sky looks beautifully blue, doesn't it?


But if we turn around, you'll see the dark clouds a comin'.


The kayaking place had a two hour rain delay due to coming storms.  So instead of spending the day outside taking in some fresh air, we spent it inside a casino.  As much free coffee and pop as I want?  Definitely not a bad way to spend the day.

However, to our great surprise, when we went back outside, the clouds had cleared up and river runs were a go!  For almost three glorious hours we coasted down the river, bottoming out a few times, went through mini (but still terrifying) rapids, munched along the way, and enjoyed each other's company and conversation.   After a great but busy summer, a slow day was just what I needed to ring in year 38.
