Rafting with the Boys...

Wednesday afternoon we had the opportunity to take the boys rafting. Many moons ago Keith trained and worked for a raft company and the owners are very good family friends. So we set it up and were able to take a good group of our kiddos along from some fun.


Getting ready to head down...


Tyler started the trip in the back, tucked right in the middle...



After a couple of rapid, Starburst candies were offered to all of those who had gotten their hair a bit wet during the ride...


Getting ready for another one...



Tyler moved around a bit and braved the edge with dad so he could help paddle...


Eventually, Ty was braved and moved himself to the front, and never came back...




Seriously, how cute is this!


They were having a blast...


The littler boys watching the swimming...



Between the rapids, the kids could get out and swim when Chad said it was okay. On a couple of the smaller rapids, they could swim down them. Cody was brave and went out with Chad at one point...





Coming back to the boat...


After a toss off the boat...


On some of the calmer waters, the kids took their turn at paddling...







On the last spot to jump in and play, Ty said he was going in! He hung onto the side and flung himself over, holding the boat the whole time, then just bobbed in the water for a short bit. I guess he was comfortable with it all!


We all had a great time and will do it again when we are up during the season. Keith was able to catch another boat trip Thursday as well after going up to help out a bit.
Can't wait to do it again!
