For ages we have been saying that it would be nice to go canoeing in the river that runs through Central Park where the boys do their park runs. So a couple of weekends ago the weather was pretty good given the time of year so we got up early on a Sunday for the park run and then afterwards set up the canoes and jumped in the river. We rowed down in to Chelmsford town centre and believe it or not the boys were lucky enough to find a £10 floating on the river. So they dried it off and decided to split it £5 each as Brandon spotted it but Joshua retrieved it.
Just as we got back to the park where Tina was waiting in the car, Auntie Lisa and Uncle David turned up with their shiney new ItWit kayak. So we jumped back in the river and took another row down to Chelmsford town and back. We rowed underneath a conker tree which was low enough to pull the conkers off. So we all grabbed and handfull to use as ammo and played battleships trying to bomb each others boats. After all the rowing we had earned a trip back in to town for a nice coffee and some dunkin donuts. Its not quite as nice as the cream scone at Papermill Lock, but still very nice.
