Thursday was rafting day. We woke up early and dressed in our swimming gear, and headed to breakfast at The Bunnery (a cute little bakery, pictures to come later). We were still a little chilly and not quite awake, don't expect great pictures of us.
Peytin was the only baby who came with us and luckily for dad, an addiontal male. Unfortunately this also meant that Trish didn't go rafting with us so while we were on the water she was back at the cabin napping, reading, and playing with Peytin. Just some quality R & R. Petyin is the happiest, most pleasent baby I've ever seen!
We left around 9:30 with our life jackets and first went on a 13 mile scenic float trip down the Snake River. I was thinking it was going to be warm since it's August, but the sun was hiding behind clouds and the wind was blowing, it was FREEZING!!
Heather was the smart one who took a wind breaker from our guide. I later followed suit because it was honestly, just so cold.
The scenery was beautiful! Here are the Grand Tetons and around 11:30 we pulled up to a bank like this one and had lunch together.
The most common animal we saw were bald eagles, they were everywhere like they were sparrows or robins. This eagle was right on the bank and flew right in front of our raft as we came around the bend.
At 2:00 we went back into town to gear up for the white water rafting. Here we are with our wet suits and anxious for the rapids as we rode the bus 45 minutes out. When we loaded the raft and received instruction in case any of us fall out, Heather attacked Christine and over they went. As soon as we helped them back into the raft, Lynette attacked me and over we went. Oooh, that's cold water! Sure it may be 80 degrees outside but it was cold water! I will admit though, it was quite refreshing. The rapids were a class three and what a rush! I loved it!!
