LOL! "and rocks and trees...."
Yeah, Actually though, that looks quite fun! What was your sister doing? Did she have the need to fight to the death over the last bottle of clean water?

By the way, thanks.. I'm going to have that stupid song in my head for the next week.

When we would get to a deep slow moving section of the river they would stand on opposite sides of the rafts, and lock oars. And then they would lean over the side of the raft, and then they would see how long they could hold themselves over the side without falling in...but it always ended the same way some one or both would fall into the river and get wet...which was actually quite refreshing cause it was around 90 degrees Fahrenheit and the water was around 50 degrees!


The green raft (which Tyler and Malcolm were in) had two sets of two people leaning over the boat at the same time! I wish had a picture of that :-/ But water and cameras don't go over well so it took awhile to get my camera out.


BTW we got 20 people into that Dodge van, which was really quite funny :D

first vid: we both started off good leaning over the edge of each side of the raft... than she (Christy) said, "she didn't really to get wet" and.... other people in the boat knew I did and they said so, so she asked me and I was stupid enough to say yes :P (then she let go)

second vid: we were both planning on going in but we both lost our balance and she fell in. :)

There was a time that the river was calm for a long time and Ryan, John N, Christy, and I all jump out and swam for a while... :) and left 3 people in the raft while we floated down stream!

It was a blast!!!
