Today was our first chill day. We went to Mystic River resort which is a beautiful place. We had the option to hike, do yoga, or just lay in hammocks before lunch. Those that know me probably know what I chose to do....hammock! I'm thankful I brought my eno it has been so nice having it here! After lunch we got into canoes 2 to 3 per each canoe. Heather and I were in a canoe together and for those that don't know I am horrible at paddling, I usually go in circles! So basically poor Heather had to teach me what in the world to do which was hard because when we're together all we do is laugh! We were the last group struggling along but by the halfway point we were in the lead, I mean we couldn't see anyone! We ended up losing our first place position only because while going down a rapid our canoe hit a rock and dumped us and all of our stuff out (don't worry the brand new iPhone 6 was not with me). Between laughing and the slippery rocks I could not get up! I was stuck partially under the canoe but thankfully it was in 2ft deep water! Hunt (our professor) jumped from his canoe and ran to get to us! After our spill we were on edge the rest of the time. Anytime there was a rapid we would steer clear of rocks however we ended up going left to the bank where there were big trees and limbs everywhere. While trying to stay away from this huge rock we ended up going to close to the bank and we hit this huge tree. We hit so hard both of us were jolted out of our seats and in the bottom of the canoe. When we hit it was so loud the others thought we were seriously injured because we were laying in the canoe not moving. We weren't moving because we were dying laughing like my 'abs' hurt from it.
We were told it was a two hour nice relaxing canoe ride.....however that was not the case! It took three hours and we paddled the whole time! I was so ready to get out of that stupid canoe! Finally after falling out of the canoe, running into trees, and getting the worst sunburn we made it to the end!
