First canoe "race" on the Wailua

Last Saturday, I got to participate in my first outrigger canoe race! Although it wasn't an official race, one of the canoe clubs on the island set the event up as a fundraiser, and it provided the perfect trial run for all the new paddlers.

Noah was very excited to get to come watch Mommy paddling and see the canoes! He was the best cheerleader out there :-)
