river weekend {sunday}

on sunday we decided to float the "middle" river
enis to graves' creek
the "big" rapids.

{the emmons family}
 we went with a big group this day.
4 rafts
10 adults.
9 kids.

{willie and hannah, sy's little brother and sister}
 these were 2 of the boats with us, and the third one in the background, plus ours.
such a great time going in a big group.
sis-in-law sadie
 2 years of therapy and i think we found a great outlet for little bear.
 during the calms in rapids,
everyone bailed from their rafts to cool off.
 monkey had a couple rapids that scared drenched him,
but later that night he asked for goggles.
such an allen boy....ready to power through!
 standing on the ladder,
outside of the boat,
one handed...
conquring our fears.
 look at this crew.
and our babies.
such a great day!
 see....hasn't gotten old yet.
 this is the famous jumping rock
i have a photo of hubby doing a back flip of the upper level
back before we were engaged....
and i still said yes.
 bravery...
it runs in the family.

river weekend {saturday}

so now that we have purchased our river raft
it's safe to say we have found our "vacation home"
 this is the Caveman Bridge in our home town
sort of the "introduction" to the river.

these ladies are a few miles down the river.
the boys just wave and say hi!

the view of this boy on the river is never going to get old.
 we took emmett's friend with us this trip
and the boys had a blast.
 this view is never going to get old either.
 or this view...
Sy and Jeff were trying to teach the boys what to do if they ever fell off the boat
teaching them how to sit in a chair and float the rapids
then swim through the current to the shore. 
 these boys have to be pepared for any situation.
 here's jeff...
proving that life is rough for us grants pass river rats.
 and at the end of our 5 hour river float,
we were treated to this gorgous creature.

yup...
life is tough,
on the rogue river...

until tomorrow.
