So…this past week I tried something new. Lindsay and a few of her friends planned a midnight canoe trip. Now most people who know me find that I’m just not an outdoors person…it isn’t my thing. That being said, I’ve been trying to learn from my mistakes in past relationships and am attempting to do things I normally wouldn’t…and to try and do so with a good humor.

We arrived at Lake Noonan around 9:30PM and promptly grabbed canoes and headed out. The bugs weren’t biting bugs, but if you had any type of light on you, you were getting swarmed! We slowly paddled the canoe down the canal following floating lights showing us the way out. When we hit the lake, it was beautiful…the temperature was perfect and random small fish were jumping in the water…one even landed in the canoe. The moon was completely full and shimmered across the surface of the lake, rippling with the water.

We stayed out on the lake for about 2 hours and my favorite parts were when it was quiet and you could just hear nature.

After we returned to where had started out journey I was impressed by the number of people who were there in canoes and kayaks. I’d say 20-30 people total. I can understand why people do this for relaxation and to enjoy the beauty.
