Cannon River

Steve and I have been wanting to do some kayaking on the Cannon River. We finally did it on Saturday. I called a head to Welch Tubing and found out it was only $5 to use their landing per person  or $20 each for a shuttle to drop us off and a place to park up close to the river. We opted for the ride and close parking. Otherwise it would be bring two cars and a lot of back and forth.

It was a perfect day to be out on the river. We paddled 12 miles, from Cannon Falls, just below the waterfall in town to Welch. It took us four hours and 14 minutes! We did stop for a lunch along the sand bar areas. We also ran out of drinks, only brought 5 beers thinking we wouldn't even drink that along with three bottles of water. We just had meat and cheese for a light lunch. I was glad we at least had a cooler with food and drinks with us this time. Last time we tubed down the Root River we only had one water bottle each for over 2 hours. 

 The river was pretty quiet until we met up with the tubers. We just paddled like crazy to be done because we still had another hour on the river. We were pretty much done by the time the tubers are dumped into the river and that was over half way.

Stopping at the sand bar. Steve really wanted to fish. Maybe next time and less distance to cover. 

This cute green tree frog hitched a ride on my car windshield all the way to Welch. We didn't know he was on the car till he crawled up on my wipers. We let him go by the river. Poor guy so far from his home. 

I know this isn't very exciting. but we purchased two new toilets at Menards. They were on sale and were 11% off the sale price which never happens. We also used our Menards money that Steve got for purchasing job materials. So we didn't have to pay anything for the new toilets. They will go in our master bathroom and the kids bathroom. We just wanted new ones since the original builder of our house just had so, so toilets and that's no fun when Steve is constantly unplugging them. We are hoping this fixes the issue! Now for Steve to install them. When? Who know? I'm still waiting on our stairs light to be installed and I'd like a new light for the office. Maybe brighter since its dark in here!
