Hi grandma and papa. I recently got back from a canoeing campout! we had a great time there were six canoes and 13 people/ 9 scouts 4 adults. We had a great time we had to put all are gear in are canoes and paddle a long way to the old sunken road. We were camping not at a campsite and so we don't now if what we did was legal or not. We set up are tents and got every thing ready and had dinner and the sun was setting. After we had dinner one of the scouts whos name is Camden went fishing and I went after him to watch and we saw a snake and so he was goofing of and acting like he was going to hook it but then he actually did and it got caught so we cut the line and we thought the snake was going to die cause there was a hook in it but the snake just went to a rock and rubbed against it and the hook came out. Then after that we all went to bed. The next morning we got up and packed up. We then put are stuff near the canoes but didn't put it in cause for the next couple of hours we learned different strokes to do to turn and to get more power in are paddling and  swamping them and then how to empty them and also how to do it with another canoe and in deep water. Then after that we packed up are stuff in trash bags and sealed them of with tape just in cause we capsized and so after every thing was put in we returned.

love you
