We just got there and walked to the river and there they were!<br /><br />DVM's Wife: Yes, it was wonderful. It was like leaving winter (here) and arriving at summer there. Where was spring? (Probably drove through it somwhere on I-75 around Gaylord). ha<br /><br />JJ: I could have watched them for hours. We toured the whole botanical garden, walked around and when we headed back to the car, they were still at it! They must have been exhausted.<br /><br />Scrappy Do: I could never do either, even with a younger body!<br /><br />Fran: I know. I was SO excited!! I was away from home checking my blog from my neice's laptop and got so excited!!! I should have offered a prize to the 100th follower, but it happened when I was gone and didn't have daily access to check it!!<br /><br />Cathy: I have lots of back reading to do of everyone's blog. My neice had a laptop, but we were busy and lots of people used it during my stay, so I didn't have the time to do it. As a side note, I got sicker every day and went to the clinic when I got back and found out I have pneumonia. So I am still hacking and on medication. Sure will be glad when I am back to normal!<br /><br />Ratty: Now you can always go to your preserve and when there is a current, start practicing!!! It will entertain the squirrels and deer!<br /><br />Insanity Kim: I am slowly getting caught up on my blog reading of everyone's blog. I have been hacking up a few lungs around here...hope the antibiotics kick in soon, and that I don't get swine flu on top of the pneumonia.!!<br /><br />Rainfield61: I bet it was fun for them. They sure looked as if they enjoyed it and the attention they were getting!<br /><br />Joanie: I have to get caught up on everyone's posts...couldn't read much when I was out of town.<br /><br />Gaston: Thanks! I love any moving water shots, so this was a bonus to get the kayaker and surfer too!<br /><br />Pehpot: They must have to endure how cold it must have been for them!<br /><br />Bernie: I did answer your comments...and some of the others...but there were several family members and only one laptop to share. ha I have a lot of reading to do to get caught up on reading everyone else's blogs too! Thanks. I hope to post some more Lansing pictures over the next few days, too!<br /><br />Loree: Me neither. It was fascinating. He would do the rapids, fall over, go back up river, climb back on the board and do it over and over. He just have been exhausted!!! (or on a suicide mission) haThe Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-42810795153692075922009-04-29T02:41:00.000-04:002009-04-29T02:41:00.000-04:00Oh wow, I have never seen anyone surf a river!Oh wow, I have never seen anyone surf a river!Loreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520908604580765632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-21167336857643242652009-04-29T02:12:00.000-04:002009-04-29T02:12:00.000-04:00Loved your pictures, something I have always wante...Loved your pictures, something I have always wanted to try......you mean I have been commenting on your blog and you haven't even been there))))) I think your blog is wonderful, have a wonderful day.....:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-27480436358714405582009-04-28T23:23:00.000-04:002009-04-28T23:23:00.000-04:00these guys really missed the water LOLthese guys really missed the water LOLpehpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791996743008286559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-12275180970491302732009-04-28T19:34:00.000-04:002009-04-28T19:34:00.000-04:00I wrote about windsurfers and kayakers yesterday t...I wrote about windsurfers and kayakers yesterday too!
