This year we went to Ashokan again. One interesting thing we did was blacksmithing. I made a heart trivet. We got to pump the fire and hammer metal. Some people made fire pokers. Even Jen made something?

I learned that canoeing is harder than I thought. You have to balance out the center of gravity and the person in the back has more control. Unfortunately, I was in the back and Dora was in the front. She was not very good at it. We kept almost tipping over but we didn’t die. It was really pretty though.

It was different than last year because we had different activities and they were more fun.
