Rafting Photos

River Rafting on the Rogue was so much fun. To be honest, I was pretty nervous but there was so much downtime of just floating along the river... it was so great! We were able to get out of the boat and swim and the kids got to join the Dad's in the kayaks. I even got to paddle one around for a little while, which was fun. The very first rapid we came to in the rafts I had Finley on my lap, Hudson next to me and Spencer on the other side of him. Poor Hudson flew right off that seat (but thankfully stayed in the boat)! From then on, I had Spencer and Hudson hold onto each other! Guess I needed one more hand!  The very last rapid was a class 2 rapid and Hudson actually fell asleep... waking up only to cry out as water splashed him. It was so funny. We had a great great great time!!!  Thank you Aaron & Jolene!!!  Here are a few photos... click on them if you'd like to see them larger & in better detail.  Also, you can go here to see a fun write up and pictures from Jolene's parentes.
