good bye, kayak

Memorial weekend Sam and I went Kayaking down the river with Todd and Lacey. Why would we go when it was cold, raining, and the water felt like ice? I don't know. Maybe because we had a brand new kayak and were very excited to try it out. It was freezing, but it was tons of fun, up until the last little stretch. We saw the water getting pretty crazy as we approached some huge pillars, and before we knew it we were crashing right into one of them. We were tossed out of the kayak and going down stream before we knew it, into icy, icy water. I, of course, thought i was going to die and panicked. Sam pulled me to the side and we ran back to see our brand new kayak, totally destroyed. The even bigger problem was that our brand new camera (thanks to me stepping on our last one), was in our kayak when we flipped. Luckily we had just bought a water proof case, and even more luckily, Sam was able to run upstream, swim to the kayak, and find our camera underwater, just barely hanging by a piece of the broken kayak.
