We've been so excited to have Robyn and Ron back in town. They drove in late Thurs night and Friday afternoon we had them canoeing down the Minnehaha Creek (which is almost a gushing river right now with the melt from the record snow fall we had.) Unfortunately, the ride was cut short for Robyn, James and I since my one handed steering skills were no match for the rapids and low branches while trying to hold a wiggly one year old in the canoe. We all had a chilly swim. Fortunately, no casualties- except poor Robyn is now sick. It's pretty incredible how long the cold has lingered this year. This morning it was snowing a little on the way to church. Even the heartiest of Minnesotans are grumbling a bit.
