Making Memories

Todd and Daniel planned a canoe trip for the weekend - a guy's trip. It's sure to water, mud, sleeping bags, campfires, and roughing it.



They made all the preparations themselves except for my attempt at contributing gluten-free pumpkin granola bars - FAIL. I'll have to work on that one. They took them anyway. When you're really hungry, just about anything tastes good!
I'll have to admit that as they were loading up, I was giddy with excitement for them. Making those memories. Sometimes the biggest disasters make for the best memories. Not that this trip will be a disaster. In fact, it will be far from it, knowing those two. But when unexpected things happen, those make for the best stories to recount for years to come.
Off they go into the great unknown. I'll pick them up Sunday - somewhere. They have no schedule, and no goal other than to be in the moment.
Thank you, God, for opportunities to be in the moment...
