Staunton River Kayak day

Finally! A break in the heat, after what seems like months of high-90s and above temperatures. We had a glorious day on the river saturday. I can't think of a better way to spend part of my Labor Day weekend! And standing around by the river, waiting to put in, we were surround by leaves already starting to fall. It was a lovely prelude to the upcoming season which has, finally after 35 years of life, become my very favorite. I used to think summer was the ultimate, swimming with abandon and frying away in the sunlight. But this particular summer has broken me of my love of it. With college football looking more and more interesting all the time, and this break in the heat, I am excited for Autumn's arrival. These photos are from yesterday's trek down the Staunton with a group from Boydton Baptist Church. It was a big time for our girls who boat hopped all afternoon so a big thanks go out to Mrs. Karla Gravitt and the Folk family for hosting Annelise and Elena and on their kayak and canoe respectively. Our kids had a ball! I have to say that it was a Blessed time in Christ and I thank Him for such a perfect day!

This is not the whole group and Annelise was behind her camera here. What a great group of folks with whom to float!
