I'm In Charge!

Yesterday Sophia announced that "I'm In Charge". I have always suspected this but now I know for sure that she is the boss. I think we were all relieved to finally discuss and establish the family pecking order.

Our latest acquisition (this is becoming addictive) is a canoe. Inspired by a canoing trip with Dave Berg on the River Dee during Xmas 2005 we bought an Old Town canoe. This has become an immediate hit.

Dave and Rosie Woods were flying out of Toronto into Liverpool on Sunday so on Saturday we headed North together into New York State and stayed in Ellicotsville (next door to the Brew Pub!). Sunday morning was spent paddling and picnicking in the Allegany State Park after which the Woods duo headed North for the airport and we pitched a tent for the night. On Monday we drove South into Pennsylvania to the Allegheny State Forest and paddled off for a picnic and a swim on distant shores of the Allegheny Reservoir. Fresh air makes you sleepy!
