White Water Rafting!!!!!

What a great Time. Cameron and Ryno loved every minute of it. Colby was more content just to hang out at camp with all the other kids and jump off the cliffs into the water.
These next two pictures are in sequence. I don't know how well you can see our facial expressions, but we are all about to have heart attacks. It always takes a couple of trips down the river to get your sea legs.


This picture is taken just after we had gone through devils hole. And it is as bad as it sounds. It did not seam to phase Cameron, but his little buddy Carson is not sure he is ready to look out yet.

This is part of the crew. Ryno and the Brodericks had already left by the time we remembered to take the picture. So 8 of the crew had already left. We are a rough looking bunch, but thats what you get when you live on the river for 5 days. It was all worth it.
The guys here cooking breakfast for us. You got to love that.


The kids playing on the rafts after the sun had gone down.






Well we lived to tell the tail. Another year of White water rafting the Dechutes River under our belts. We had so much fun with all our friend from Hermiston. The Wrathalls, Royers, Brodericks and Petersons were all there. We would start each day with a large breakfast made by all the men before hitting the river. We had 2 rafts and 3 kayaks. I think the kids had more fun in the rafts at night when they were strapped to the trailer, then they did during the day. Ryno was up for a couple of days of the fun, but had to leave on Thursday. The video is short, but as you can tell this is us hitting the hole(Oak Springs) just right. The boat just about fills up with water. It takes a minute to get your bearings after a drop like that.

Yep yep yep! You guys are crazy! I would never do a thing like that! (Just jokin') That was awesome fun, thanks for sharing that experience with us. We always have such a blast with you guys. Oh, and by the way, we had so much fun that we're going again next week. So clear your calendar and get your life jacket on. We'll see you then.
