River Yummy Rafting

Living in a rural country town definitely has some advantages. We floated down the Green River yesterday and had probably the best time doing it out of everything we have done so far this summer. It is the PERFECT family activity. It took a total of 4 hours and Mason did great. He keeps asking for "more boat" and "rapids!" today. We have decided to make it a yearly tradition right before the 24th of July, but we "have to have Cream Soda, too!" (According to Tyler. This was part of our picnic-on-the-side-of-the-river).



In honor of Nathan's mother-in-law (Momma Linda, who was trying to get here to visit this weekend but had cancelled flights), we took this picture:

Tyler and Hailey at the staring point in front of Flaming Gorge Dam...
Hailey VERY proud that she was the first child to jump in...

Emma the first child "forced" in...
Mason's "spot". He rarely left the protection of Mom, and had to almost always be facing towards me. A little rough for me trying to paddle...
Although he was very happy to get a new "toy". A squirt bottle...
Lunch on the side of the river. (Not sure what Hailey is doing.)
Getting up the nerve...
Emma pointing to the Devil's Diving Board...(Which they now think Nate has jumped off of...)

Being pulled on a rope...
