Rafting – Day Two

After camping on the river we were off to a great day of rafting, swimming and georgeous views.  It was lots of fun and our paddle boat had a new guide.  This time we had Eli and he introduced some new games to the trip.  Elliot rode the front of the boat holding on to the rope as we went over the rapids (mild ones of course).  His dad Tom tried as well and they both had a great time doing so. I wanted to try the kayak but fell into the river where the current was really strong.  The paddle boat had to come and get me as I floated quickly away.  Second time being really scared.  But the campside was fabulous on the rocky beach.  We skipped stones for a long time while sitting on the water’s edge in the folding chairs.  Another great night under the stars.
