Rafting

We parked at he end of the river where we would get off and a school bus took us where we got our raft and hit the water. So Bridgitt was so excited she got to ride and school bus and go on a boat in the same day. Cause i am sure she will never ride a bus to school which when she sees one that's all she talks about.
The Truckee River in Tahoe City Patricia no feeding the ducks!
So we were no longer than 10-15 minutes on the water and we went right it to a tree and were stuck. Our drivers, paddlers whatever you want to call them didn't have it together lol. With all of Davids sayings and comment to other rafters and singing as if we were in Paris i think we laughed the whole 5 mile ride that took us 2 1/2 hours it was so much fun and memorable. But it didn't end their, just never ask David what time is it? when he doesn't have his glass on and has a soda in his hand LOL!
That's the tree with David getting beat up from the rocks trying to get in



ya he got in!
Pope needs more band-aids!


On Popes birthday Bridgitt made him a card with lines all over him and she told him that those were his band-aids cause he always has boo-boos.

AWWW Pirates!
We asked him if they got him he said "no"
most of the rapids were like this

Hes gonna catch a big one
Pope and Grammy

trying to splash Justin before he gets me



So this was one of the 4-5 bridges we had to go through or duck under because the water was so low. So you look at it and think ok go for the left side but no not us we got up their and their was another raft right their going on the left so we went to the right.
ad this is what we hit and ran into the trees and bushes again, yes that little part between the rock and bushes that's where lol.





My best friend!
doing silly poses
I'm trying to show Parker that he can swim with the life jacket on but it was so cold
It was an amazing day and i can't think of any other time that we spent the whole day with Justin's parents doing something as a family. It has always been short visits when we go to Reno, when they stop by or at family functions. So we have already started planning our next fun thing!
