Rest assured, Fans, we have done more than sing and listen to the Velveeta jingle from the eighties. This morning, we rented two canoes and a kayak and in them, explored the chain of lakes which--for our not-acquainted-with-Minnesota-Fans--includes Lake Calhoun, Lake of the Isles, and Cedar Lake. Cousin Nick manned the kayak, Joe rode with Aunt Kate and Uncle Scott, and Birdie navigated for Julie and Ted. We were a yar fleet.* Julie may have been the most excited: she was in a vessel! Water borne! Paddling! The day dawned downright chilly, but by the time we were out on the water, the weather couldn't have been more perfect for our outing. We went all about the lakes (through tunnels!--really, under bridges) and then had lunch at a restaurant next to the rentals shack, a mostly fish 'n' chips place called Tin Fish. Joe allowed that yes, he'd had fun canoeing, but no, he did not want to go again. But under direct questioning he further revealed that he would go again--if we did not go forever (meaning for as long a time).
*You knew that was coming, Fans.

| It's true. I look cute in everything. I am, after all, an international style icon in the making. |
 |
| Off to the boats! |
 |
| Yes, they are very cool. |
 |
| Cousin Nick is also super cool. He gets his own boat. |
 |
| Awesome. |
 |
| Sit on my bottom? What? But then how would I touch the water? |
