Look at me. So happy, so carefree. Little did I know my life would be put in danger many times within the next 8 hours. After a quick trip down the river in the canoe, I signed up for a second tour to finish the second leg with Dad and Julie. We went through intense rapids, dangerously shallow waters, and were then forced to paddle across a never ending lake in a half sunken canoe. We quickly found the task to be impossible so we ditched the canoe and I took off running through a wheat field for help. Thank goodness for the water skiing hudderites who found me and for the professional helicopter pilot who flew me over to the hudderite colony to reunite us with my mom and Sarah. It was definitely an adventure of a lifetime!

Great blog Katie! I am so glad that you have decided to update your family on your life. Please tell me more about your latest ice baths and dates!

Don't forget the near misses on the category 5 rapids in a 95 year old canoe! Next time lets take a big rubber raft (and patches). I remember laughing so hard that day that my face hurt. I love that we have a "Wall Lake Bear" story of our own. Thanks to those speedy feet of yours, I am still alive today! My children and my children's children thank you...

I always check for an update. I don't know why.
