How I forgot to post these I do not know, but here they are! This August when the Barnett Family came to visit we got to go white water rafting, it was a blast! We had never done it before and that morning it was raining and ugly looking so we almost backed out. We are so glad we decided to go anyway. We dropped Brooklyn off to play with her cousins at Ricky and Steph's for the day, thank you for watching her. Once we got to the rafting place about 45 min.'s away it looked like it had not rained there so we were excited. They outfitted us in some fabulous wet suits ( we all looked like some happily feed seals :), but we were so glad we had those suits on the water was chilly! We had the best instructor Eric, he made the experience even better.
This is one of the rapids we hit, little Dani is "riding the bull" in the front of the raft and is completely covered by the wave. I think Josh and I swallowed about a gallon of water on this rapid.
Oh, there she is! Dani did great she held on tight and sat up front for most of the way. At one point Krisitan jumped in the water and said it was not cold so later Josh and I jumped in. What a difference a few miles down the river makes, it was FREEZING like take your breath away cold. We were pretty much the only boat that jumped in and got to do some fun little tricks along the way. It was a day of good times and happy memories. If you havn't done this you should.
This was about a 3 hour tour and tons of fun! So if anyone wants to some visit next summer we have to plan on doing this!
