Janezic-Lestingi canoe trip of 2009

Okay. It took me a little while to get back to this task but I've finally posted a video of our canoeing adventure.

Considering Loon Lake is 150 ft. deep and the 20 mph wind gusts the vests were a necessity. Luckily the lifejackets ended up being decorative as nobody went overboard.

Next time we'll pack a couple of inflatables and drop in further down stream and enjoy the float to the dunes. A floating cooler would be helpful as well!

Click on the picture to see images from Martha's 90th birthday party. Somehow while we were all having fun I failed to take pictures of Martha with the family. Luckily we have the collective memory to look back upon so the photos are not really what matters.

Happy birthday grandma.

With love,
Your Family.

Mary Jo and I hit the bike trail into town. It's a former train bed that has been 'recovered' for multipurpose use. Mary Jo couldn't help but show her stuff after we encountered a couple of trailside motorcross riders.

Enjoy the ride!

We have a box of photos that really shouldn't see the light of day. Some of the photos apparently saw too much light as one roll is WAY overexposed. This photo was difficult to see in its original state. Here's the best I could do to salvage any image.

Damn I look young there.
