Canoeing the Au Sable River

A rather spontaneous idea.
Maybe it started with one of those "Pure Michigan" ads.
(Turn on your sound, sit back, and listen.)

John had a rare day-and-a-half available.
(Sort of. He still worked on his sermon.)

So we drove up to see my parents over last Friday night.
And we put the canoe (with my dad's help) into the river for a couple hours.
There was not a lot of "color" change, but the views were still beautiful.
And the air... Ah, the air felt so good. So fresh.

Bonus: We saw two noble-looking great blue herons!
