The Great Outdoors

My oldest sister came to visit me this weekend.  We decided we wanted to do something outside, because the weather was going to be beautiful.  The first thing we did was take Freddy (my dog) to the dog park to run around.  We didn't think it would be nice to make him stay inside all day when it was so nice and sunny outside.

Next, we dropped Freddy back home and I drove just a few minutes away from my house to the canal. A canal is a big, long ditch dug by people and then filled with water.  It looks a little like a stream or river.  I live near the D&R Canal.  It is not far from you either!

We rented kayaks at Griggstown Canoe and Kayak Rental.  You can find more information about it here: http://www.canoenj.com/griggs1.htm

We had a great time paddling down the canal.  There were a lot of children out with their families.  We saw turtles and snakes in the water.  It was a lot of fun to be out exercising in the fresh air!
