meaning that we often had to carry the canoe. We were all wearing flip-
flops, and they kept slipping off and floating downstream, sending us
chasing after them over the rocky river bottom with bare feet. Finally,
we got afloat again. when a bee began buzzing around, my
sister got scared and jumped up, tipping over the boat and sending all
of us, along with our picnic lunch and dry towels, into the water.

however, disappeared downriver.
