Floating the River

My favorite highlight of the trip was floating the river! It was so fun! We dropped Mama off at the house so she could rest and watch the Mariners game and the rest of us headed back to town. They have several companies that do it, but this one allowed kids Peanut’s age so we went with them.

We had to wait a little bit, and then we got to load up in their van and headed to the river! Uncle K had a waterproof camera so he was able to capture the trip!

The weather was gorgeous! It was the perfect day for a river float!

We found a waterfall right off the bat!

They gave us Frisbees to use as paddles! Pretty clever and they worked great!

The scenery was absolutely beautiful and it was so relaxing to just float.

Peanut stuck with Noni…actually she refused to go to anyone else. Noni was her safest bet I guess. Haha :)

We stopped at one little island and let the kids play on the sandbar for quite a while. Peanut loved it!

I was walking along when a little fawn walked out of the brush! It wasn’t skittish at all and let us get fairly close.

Dig, dig, dig.

Swim, swim, swim.

We saw lots of ducks, geese, another bigger deer, and even a raccoon getting drink!

Look at this view!

By this time the girls were getting really brave and Bug and Boo swam (in their lifejackets) along side us as we floated.

The float was supposed to take an hour and half, but we stopped to swim and play several times and ended up taking three and half hours!

We finally made it to the end and Buggy dragged us in the rest of the way. :)

What a great trip!
