White water rafting - Vacation Day 4

We woke up early and drove to meet the rest of the family at Mariah river rafting expeditions. 

We were really excited, but Patrick & I were a bit concerned about how Griffin would do.  We got loaded up with all of our gear, then drove to the river.  Boat #1 had Uncle George, Aunt Dorothy, Uncle Russell, Maggie, Jonathon, and Savannah.  Boat #2 had Patrick, Robert, Trevor, myself, Griffin, and Grandpa Pat.





The above pictures are boat #1 Savannah is the one in the yellow helmet.  We had waterproof cameras too, but I still need to get them developed.  Savannah was loving it.








These above pictures were our boat #2 it was awesome!!  We had such a great time.  Our guide was great, we loved her.  Between some of the rapids she broke out waterproof bottles with different candies in them.  We shared with boat #1 as well.  The river was really cold, but at times some of us got out and swam along side when the water was nice and calm.  It was such a cool thing to experience with our family.  When we were done Griffin said " Can we go again?"  I said "Yes, someday."  He said "No, I mean while on this trip."  We were surprised how much he love it. 

After the river we went & purchased our pictures, then ate a late lunch/ early dinner.  Such a fun day!  Thanks to Grandpa Pat for taking us!!
