Celebrating our 11th anniversary – Part 1
We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary on September 13, 2009. Since we had plans to go out for a formal anniversary dinner on Saturday the 19th, we decided to do something we haven’t done in 7 years or more. We went canoeing.
While on the Kishwaukee River (“The Kish”) it dawned on me that canoeing on our anniversary was apropos.
Canoeing, like a marriage, takes teamwork. One person can do all the paddling, but that wears a person down quickly. Sharing the work not only eases the burden, but can also speed things along.
Canoeing also requires a coordinated effort. If both people paddle on the same side of the canoe, it will veer to the other side. Getting to the destination requires teamwork.
Here are some photos from our canoe trip. Unfortunately, not pictured is the eagle that flew overhead.
