Hick Fun: White(ish) Water Rafting




Mom and Little Sam had the amazing idea of taking the raft for a spin down the river. We've had rain almost every night for the past month, so the water was high and the current was strong. Sam, Little Sam, Kenny, and I spent about an hour blowing up the raft before the adventure commenced. We all gave ourselves headaches before we broke out the duct tape to the bike pump and finished filling up the raft. I am very thankful for simple inventions! Then we launched the maiden voyage, and promptly sprang a leak! Again, duct tape to the rescue! We completed two trips through the rapids before we spent some time swimming in the river. My favorite part was of course the rapids.
