Into Sylvania with Jeff

Yesterday, Jeff took a few of the kids out canoeing in Sylvania. The group consisted of Kate, Gwen, Samir, Maia, Mattie, Maeve, Mei-Jing, me and his dog Penny. We went through three lakes and back the same way. One was Cub Lake, and it was frozen over. So to get through Jeff and Mattie's canoe with Penny in it went through and broke the ice for us. When we got past Cub Lake we went to Deer Island and it was beautiful. It was actually a warm and sunny day and we walked along the beach and took naps and ate cookies till Jeff said we had to head back. It was fun to get to go through the ice, we felt like we were in the arctic without the bad weather.
