Hannah and Boo paddling beyond the pond

Like two Peas in the "Pond"
-
Hannah and Boo try on a pair of matching splash jackets for the Hugh Heward in April. This will be their first challenge together as a tandem team. This is a ramp up to the Missouri 340 that the girls will be competing come August.

Hannah and Boo(with Gabe) pose with Valerie Fons and her kids after her outstanding presentation on "Paddling Beyond the Pond". Valerie has quite a few adoptive children that love to paddle as well. It was very nice to meet her and her family. You gotta check out her L.A.U.N.C.H. program on Washigton Island.

Valerie was very supportive of Hannah and Boo and what they are accomplishing personally and for Breast Cancer Awareness. Gave some good advice - "Keep it moving" - Now where have I heard that before?

-

We talked briefly about http://www.peakcamp.com./ and adventures for kids. She has been pondering some trips for youth for quite some time. Valerie wants to explore an across Wisconsin paddling trip with kids. Sounds doable to me, let me load up a Cruiser.

A great weekend for the girls and the parents as well. It's not over yet. They are all asleep so I thought I would pound out a few words for the blog.

-

Not sure what the weather will do, but we might drop a boat in the water for the girls.

It's a balmy 27 degrees, but it's a dry heat - The Capt'n
