Normally I would have a job and would not have the time off to spend with him during Spring Break. Now that I make my own hours, I mean Carter makes my hours, we can go where the wind takes us, I mean where Carter takes us!
Brian paddles in the Missouri Whitewater Asc. championships every year. I have not been able to go in years. This year we borrowed a friends pop-up camper. We headed to the St. Francis River near Ironton/Fredricktown, MO. Brian had two days of racing and we had a third day to just hang around the camp site.
Carter was so happy. He loved being around the river and throwing rocks into it. He loved being able to run around the campground. And he really loved getting in the canoe with us for rides around the smooth water.
After three nights of the campground we broke camp and headed to my dad's cabin in Houston, MO. We stayed there for three more relaxing nights. We hiked to the creek, took the canoe to the Big Piney River just down the road and relaxed.
Carter came back from one hike with Brian telling me they saw a possum. It was so cute because he was so excited about it. Brian said he kept saying, "I saw a possum" over and over and over. As soon as he got to me he went blank. Ha, Ha.
I wonder if Carter will remember these moments.
