The Mighty Flambeau

Since we've been up to a whole lot of nothing here at the Lucas house for the past couple of weeks, I thought I'd post about a little trip we took one weekend in June.

Every year my dad and I meet on a river in Minnesota or Wisconsin and we kayak for the day. This year we changed the plan a little and made it a family outing. So, my dad and Carol, Erin and Bob, We Lucas Four, and some cousins all met in northern Wisconsin on the mighty Flambeau River.

Here is everyone enjoying the trip:

The plan: to enjoy a summer day canoe trip and soak up some sun.

The reality: we soaked up about 15 inches of RAIN as a storm caught us about half an hour into the trip.

We ended our soggy trip early and headed to the nearest supper club for a great dinner.

The next morning my dad and I got up early and kayaked for an hour before anyone else was up.
