White Water Rafting!




What a Blast!!!! We hit the rocks today and we hit them hard!
at one of the rapids it was a really steep drop and there was a rock in front of the jump so you had to hit it on the way down! and as we were going down i lost my place on my seat and slammed into Daniel who was sitting in front of me! my jaw still hurts from it! we have pictures that actually show me in slow motion hitting him! it starts with me with my mouth open screaming then the next shot is my face realizing what is about to happen and then finally the connection!!! awesome pictures!!!

we also got to float down the river in our life jackets and go down baby rapids in our life jackets which was really fun! you got taken under the water and then pushed back up and in other spots there would be rocks only just below the water and your butt would catch on it and you would be stuck like a turtle upsided down!!! it was so funny!! catie got stuck for like 4 minutes before she realized she could turn over and push off of the rock!!

after the rafting and swimming we loaded the boat onto land and the guides told us to change into dry cloths and they were takin us to a brewery here in town and we got free potato wedges! unfortunately me and catie didn't think to bring extra cloths.. so catie came up with a brilliant idea to take our wet shorts off and hang them out of the windown while the bus drove!! WIND POWER!!! anyways we looked absolutely ridiculous! and everyone laughed at us but it worked a little bit!!!
it was a great day!!!
