White Water Rafting!!!

A couple weekends ago we had an awesome time White Water Rafting! My uncle and cousins are all river guides, so I have gone numerous times growing up - so much fun, lucky me! This time Josh and Vanessa planned a fun couples trip for our friends! We had a great time camping, we took Mitch and he was so good luckily! A baby in the next camp over... NOT SO MUCH!!! It was crying all night! So annoying when your baby is quiet and you can't even sleep then! Luckily they were quiet the next night, the note from managment(aka Vanessa)probably helped! LOL! We had fun at the rock slides on Friday and then rafted on Saturday, Josh did 3 runs for us(such a stud)! Thanks so much for the great weekend you guys! Here are the pics...

Looks like tons of fun! So glad the third time didn't kill you! For those who don't know...the first time she took a really scary ride by herself. She fell out of the raft and was heading for a bad place, under the waiting rafts, her uncle leaned over and instead of picking her up, pushed her off and down the middle of the river! You should have seen the look on Heather's face! You haven't seen or heard anything close to her response to that treatment. But she lived!!!
Then she had a brainy idea to walk in the river without a life jacket on. She got caught in a whirlpool and was getting ready to drown. She wasn't too pleased about that either!!! Her little brother tried to save her but it was too hard. Luckily her sister's husband saw what was going on and got to her in time. So I'm actually amazed she even considered going again. So I mean it when I'm glad that "third times a charm" didn't hold true!
