We were half way across the lake making another circle when we see Amanda Hart put her feet in the water off the side of their canoe. I say to Liz "It would be hilarious if the turns over that canoe." and no sooner are the words out of my mouth when the canoe flips on over dumping her and Rich into the lake. They come to the surface sputtering and we gather their belongings into our canoe and try to help them turn their canoe back over. It ends up far too full of water so we keep trying until the "lifeguards" paddle out with another canoe and trade theirs for the overturned one(which even they couldn't empty out without a paddleboat). Amanda can't get into the new canoe and swims over to a log in the middle of the lake. We paddle over and are able to get her into our canoe.
So we paddle back to the docks, everyone seems to be satisfied with the level of excitement for one day and I'm really hot so I was definitely thinking about using the swimming area that they have roped off in the lake. We pull into the dock and I ask Amanda who is sitting in the front of the canoe to grab the tie off chain when we get in. The only problem is, we pull up to the wrong side of the dock and our tie off is on the dock on the other side of the canoe. Before we could push off over to the other side, Amanda reaches out for the chain and......dumps us in the water. So within ten minutes she has capsized two canoes. Four soggy people climb out of the lake and luckily have a change of clothes to replace their sopping wet clothing, I just wonder what the people are going to say when they get the swampy money that was in my pocket.
