White Water Rafting Rules! (say that three times fast!)

I had the best time on Tuesday!!!! Other than the fact that we had to get up at the crack of dawn to get out there. The early start started off right. I got up early enough to prepare chili in the crock pot for when we got back, while Abby and Warren went out to get everyone some coffee.

We all piled into Abby's Tahoe and we drove the 2.5 hours to the Deschutes River to go rafting. Apparently the mosquitos had just hatched a few days ago, so we had to really pile on the sunscreen and bugspray. Heres the prequel to the rafting.....
We bought an underwater camera to use, and we caught a few choice images of the actual trip.

It was Kirsty's birthday, so our awesome River guide Clint, made sure that she was the center of attention by ensuring she got dumped from the boat several times during the trip!

We also did some cool tricks on our raft, like a full on "wheelie" with all of us at the back of the boat and the front of the boat straight up in the air! We also went down some rapids without the boat, and "surfed" with our raft.

It was a fantastic trip. We were there from about 10 am to 6pm.
After the trip, we were completely wiped out, and got a little silly on the car ride home. Here's some random sillyness.






When we finally got back to the house, Eldon and Jesse gave Kirsty a birthday lap dance.

Then it was back to the hot tub because we weren't quite water logged enough.
