Conquering the mighty Zumbro

The area churches have been collaborating on youth activities this summer. Last month we gathered for fun and games at a park, and this month we went canoeing. The trip down the Zumbro River started at Zumbro Falls and ended at Hammond.








For the sake of accuracy, I should say others went canoeing. I went along, took pictures, served as chauffeur between the start and end points of the trip, and otherwise relaxed in the shade on dry land. It was a lovely day of temps in the mid-70s, rather than the sticky upper-90s misery we're enduring this week, so it was very pleasant.








Thanks to a generous Boy Scout leader from one of our congregations, we had six free canoes and a great guide. We also had a wonderful turnout, with 30 people participating, and they all seemed to have a blast! Next month: movie night.
