Eagle lake

We got back from Eagle Lake on Saturday evening. we were there to celebrate my Grandpa and Grandma's 50th anniversary. we got there on Tuesday. Tuesday evening i went canoeing with my cousin Margret. we were having lots of fun until i decided i wanted to get off on the floating dock. getting off was no problem it was the jumping in that caused so much pain. anyway we ended up in freezing water (we are in Canada remember) with a sinking canoe. lots of fun. we got out ok. and we saved the canoe. if you think you have ever been cold you are right. oh i mean you have never been this cold. what was worse is 3 days later my cousin David made me go swimming in that very freezing water. i am sure i saw ice floating around.(just kidding) i stayed in for 10 minutes and when i got out i could not move i was so cold. i went and sat by a fire and after i warmed up a bit i started shivering a lot, as in i could hardly even sit. other things i enjoyed a little more would be:
  • canoeing when i did not fall in
  • hiking
  • table tennis tournament (which i won)
  • jumping on the trampoline
  • shooting bows and arrows
  • eating great

i am looking at my last blog and i did not say any thing about our trip. here it is.
we went to Indiana and stayed with some good friends. we stayed there 2 nights. we had lots of fun. then we went to Pennsylvania and stayed there a while. i don't know how long. while there i spoke to the teens of our church there. that was ok. i did not do well but hey who does on their first try? after that we went to Maine and stayed with my uncle and Aunt and all my cousins. that was fun too. we went back to Pennsylvania then we came home. i would put pictures but they are all on my moms computer.
