Crested Butte Part 2 (Rafting)

We wanted to do something worth remembering on the

4th of July instead of just going to the parade and getting

candy from the floats.  I sent the girls to the parade with

my Dad and Auntie Charlene while Kelly, Robb, Weston,

Morgan and I went rafting.  This time we had some real

rapids!  The guy at the counter told us that we wouldn't

get that wet and that we should just use a splash jacket

so that is exactly what we did.  Forward to the end of the

post and you will realize that we are completely drenched!

We are still dry here!

Me and my little brother Robb after the first part of the

trip.  We were already soaked and completely numb.

"Weston...keep us afloat please, the rest of us are under water!"

Even though they were already wet, they still

had a shock when they entered that freezing water.

The last leg of the trip the guide told me to ride the front

like a bull and if you know me, I never back down from a

challenge.  I jumped up there knowing I would get a massive

dunk and hoping Morgan would hang on to me if I fell.

The only problem was that Morgan was the one pulling me

down instead of keeping me from falling in.  Thanks Mo!

There's Morgan pulling me in!

I am definitely NOT dry anymore!  It was so fun.

We had such a good time. I know a lot of the pictures 

look the same but if you look at the facial expressions you

can see that the water was shockingly cold even after we

were already wet. 

Next time we are going on a level 5 rapid. 

Kelly came out with a few dry spots on her shirt so Robb

and Weston had to give her a little love and make sure she

was as wet as the rest of us.
