a little canoe trip in our friend's back yard

In the event that you missed the flood reports from the midwest this
week ... this is our friend - our *first* friends in IL -- who hosted
a playdate the day our moving truck arrived -- really, wonderful,
wonderful people. Great kids. Love the parents. Well, how's this? A
canoe trip. In their backyard, the backwater from the river
overflowing its banks? WOW!
