Rafting

I finally went rafting down the Kern river last night for the first time. I've only lived here my entire life, but somehow just never made it down the river. Bobby and his fiance Kelsie are in town this week so we went rafting as a family. Most of us anyway, Mom & Stef are at girls camp and the kids were too young. It was a lot of fun. Here we are getting ready to head out.

 

They cinched our vests up so tight I felt like I was wearing a corset. Unfortunately it did nothing to flatter the figure as a corset would.

Everyone jumped in for the "floating section", but I opted to stay in the boat and take pictures. I was fairly certain that my twig arms would not be able to get me back in the raft while it was moving.

 

Everyone took turns jumping off the tree. 

Thad had to show everyone up with a backflip.

And Bradon attempted a Karate Kid move, but this is how it turned out.

We were on the water for about an hour and a half and had a great time. We will definitely have to do this again.
