Rafting's in my blood

Darrin and I love anything to do with water, we should have been born with fins. Before I had Kale we went on an awesome whitewater rafting trip. Due to his arrival last summer we took it off, but were fortunate to be invited again this year. IT WAS AWESOME. We happened to get in a raft that had only 1 other couple so we had a lot of time to visit, paddle, and even be thrown overboard (Darrin). For his sake I will explain, apparently he was trying to make the small rapids more fun and was bouncing in the back, he bounced a little too high and the raft floated forward, leaving him in the water. Other then that we all stayed put, which was impressive considering the rapids we went through.

My fellow front paddle mate Kacey and I

The "lady" boat that DID NOT appreciate being splashed.

So the above two pictures, need a little explanation. 6 of us women got in the "mini me" and tried to paddle through these rapids so that we could hike up the other side and go down them repeated times. Well it was much harder then it looked, I think we tried a total of 5 times to cross, dumped out Kacey (she was saved by Krissy and Val) and to my complete disappointment never made it across. We are going again over Labor Day then maybe we will redeem ourselves.

I love Colorado, espeically our area, we have amazing friends that do amazing things and are willing to let us tag along. Thanks to the Stegs!
