We had our field trip in the morning and it didn't really feel like Thanksgiving, especially because we had our traditional American Thanksgiving a week earlier.
But in the afternoon we got to go CANOEING ON THE JORDAN RIVER
I mean, our lives are kind of unreal here.
It was a really warm day which is just what we needed because little did I know at the beginning of this that I would end up in the water...multiple times. I hopped in with JT and Thomas. It was great! I just got to sit down in the middle and enjoy the ride. We went the opposite end of everyone else and it was beautiful! When we got back to where everyone else was we started stealing paddles haha! Loads of people had already capsized! I felt very confident in our ability to remain right side up though because I was with two strong boys.
People started hopping out and jumped off this platform and were doing flips and stuff. It was all quite a lot of chaos. But then we made someone mad because we took their paddle so we were running away from Trace and Rizik. What eventually happened is that they got enough water in our canoe that it just started sinking. Like I literally ended up in the water still standing and feeling defeated. We had so much stuff in our canoe that it took forever to gather everything. But that was only the beginning.
Because then they decided to start dumping people on their way back. Well somehow the boys got Emma and Nicole mad and Nicole eventually flipped us. So I pushed her head underwater haha. When everything was back in order, I was in charge of scooping out water because it was weighing us down and causing us to tip easier. *Water bailer*
When we were on the homestretch Thomas left us and hopped on the paddleboard. I was in the back and JT wanted to switch. So he got up and came to the back. Then when it was my turn to stand up HE PUSHED ME IN!!! I tried to gracefully get back in the canoe and I didn't say a word to him. I actually thought it was pretty funny but I couldn't give him that satisfaction. It was quite the adventure.
Notice how I'm completely soaked in this picture and he's somewhat dry.
