A group of us (Andy, me, Andy’s brother, my cousin, my sister, my sister’s husband and my sister’s husband’s brother) went to the Boundary Waters. We had just two canoes for 7 people. Katie and her husband (Phil) own a 2-man canoe. They rode in that canoe along with Phil’s brother. The rest of us rented a 4-man canoe. Here is a picture of us in the 4-man. Notice how Andy is taking it easy!
Andy had his GPS with so we know exactly how far we traveled. The first day we paddled/portaged about 17 miles before stopping to pitch our tents. Here is a picture of us portaging:
While we were in the Bounday Waters, I turned 28 and my sister and cousin made me oreo pie for my birthday cake. Oreo pie was one of the highlights of the trip. Another highlight was deliberately swamping out 4-man canoe. It was tons of fun. Here is Andy warming me up after we got out of the water.
Apparently Andy was planning on proposing to me in the Boundary Waters, but my mom told him I was expecting it so he changed his plans. This site below, by the falls, is where I sort of envisioned him asking me to marry him. We staged the fake proposal picture below.
Here’s a picture of the whole crew: Andy brother’s, Phil’s brother, my sister, my sister’s husband, me, Andy and my cousin.
