Canoeing at Awenda Provincial Park

Not many people are willing to go on an adventure at 4 p.m. on a weekday. Lucky for us, we're not like most people. A spontaneous decision led us to drive up North to Awenda Provincial Park for the evening. 

We rented a canoe and paddled out towards the middle of the calm water to enjoy the view and peacefulness of the outdoors. We brought our bubbles, our GoPro and an adventurous attitude. Except for the black flies constantly biting us, it was an amazing way to escape from the city life. There isn't a better way to end the day than watching the sunset from a beach. 

Happy Adventuring!

Have You Ever Wanted to Fly a Kite?

If you're looking for an simple adventure, you should try flying a kite. Why not? It's cheap, there are cool designs and it makes you feel like a kid again. After a simple observation that it's windy outside, Chechi and I decided that flying a kite seemed like a good idea. We thrive on random and spontaneous adventures, so this isn't really out of the ordinary.

Below is a list of steps on how to fly a kite:

Step 1: Buy a kite. We're broke students who decided getting the cheapest and sturdiest kite was ideal. After a trip to Walmart and an argument on which design was the best, we got our shark kite for $15. Da-dum...Da-dum...Da-dum da-dum da-dum!

Step 2: Acquire canine companion (optional). You can probably skip this step, but bringing a dog makes the experience just a little bit more fun, especially if he's trying to chase you as you run. Bring your furry friend if you're looking for a challenge. 

Step 3: Read instructions and assemble kite. We sorta skipped reading the instructions part. We just attempted to put the kite together and tried to fly it. It seemed pretty self-explanatory. 

Step 4: Make mistakes. It turns out, it was much harder than expected. We would get the kite up for a few seconds before it crashed to the ground. Not cool. 

Step 5: Fly the kite. After multiple attempts, we finally got it in the air long enough to take a few snapshots. Just wait for a big gust of wind and start running! 

I hope you all are inspired to be a kid again. It's a pretty fun activity and isn't too time-consuming for those of you who are busy. Just get outside and fly a kite! 

Happy Flying!
