Since Sunday is the only day that the guys have off in the summer, we are always looking for things to do that will 1) allow us to enjoy the summer months, 2) have some sort of water activity involved, and 3) provide a small amount of rest and relaxation because we are all pretty physically and emotionally drained from the weeks events. Ryan and another sales rep, Jason, took it upon themselves and researched the river that we live very close to. And hence came up with the idea that we should float the river. What could be more perfect. So with suits on and rafts in hand 11 of us headed off for an afternoon of leisurely drifting.
Ryan, Jason, and Cameron. They got the fun job of blowing up all the rafts.

Getting ready to push off.
There is always time to snap a quick family picture.
Float on.
After about an hour of nothing but floating we saw some people jumping off some cliffs and decided to join in the fun.
Chris showed us all up with his mad flipping skills. This is him coming out of a back flip.
Ryan just dove in. I find it terrifying to hit the water head first. How does it not hurt?
I have no flipping or diving skills. So I just JUMPED!
This is the only picture I took that shows how clear the water was. It was beautiful.
Besides the slight mishap of not knowing where to get out of the river to get back to our cars, which turned a 4 hour raft trip into a 7 hour one, we all had a great time.
These smiles say it all. Twinkee was a little unsure about the whole thing at first, but she quickly adapted.
We all loved it so much, some of us are planning on doing it all over again this weekend. It was a perfect way to enjoy the weather and sunshine while also getting a little R and R.

It is hard to tell with his hair! The back is longer and always looks brown, but the top is so short and looks kinda red sometimes. We'll see I guess.
