Calderwood Lake || Monday, June 18, 2007

For Father's Day, Bailey took me canoeing. Uncle David (Jodie's brother and one of the best Uncles this side of the Mississippi) also came along. We made our way over the Dragon to Calderwood. While Calderwood is an interesting lake with no development, it is also extremely cold, even when it's 92 degrees outside. We did see a bald eagle and (probably) a Northern Water Snake swimming across the lake. When planning for the trip, I told Jodie that we'd be gone three hours tops. Sooo.... 5 hours later we came back into cell phone range in time for the impending search parties to be called back (my parents were already on their to Chilhowee lake to scope for our car). When we got back, of course, Bailey kept saying things like "Guess what! We were in another STATE!" and "We were just sitting on the dock basking in the sun." Anyway, I've been on my best behavior today, so I think all is forgiven :)
