July 26, 2015 - Rafting (Adults only)

 Last week Dri took the kids and we snuck off to go river rafting with the Roemhildts.
The night before we drove to Organ, hiked a waterfall and camped. (DATE NIGHT!) 

We went to this little town Washington, Longview, to drop the Roemhildts kids off and we saw some crazy sights:
1- A random lady staring off into the distance, but there was only a fence.
2- I guy riding his bike with a kid trailer that had tarps and blanks to push up the seat and a grumpy lady stretched out like a queen in a chariot.
3- we saw the scariest looking stuffed cat with daemon eyes and tail straight up in the back of a window of a car.
4- A huge jacked up truck that hit a garbage can and was dragging it town the street until the garbage can finally hit something and went flying.

Our night camping was a beautiful and clear night.  It was wonderful to go sleep staring at the clear night, stars with trees as a frame.  I am so glad I live in such a beautiful world.

The Dickersons (a family we don't know) put the trip together and offered an open invitation to...everyone. About 70 people showed up.

Jill is hiding in my shadow, good thing it's a big one.
We flipped two rafts upside down and used them as a slide.
 It was fun

Elizabeth and James are the wettest friends we have 
That's right boys, paddle me down the river

Swimming in white river 
 We would float down a chute in the river, it was shallow and you would hit rocks, the end of the video is me saving someone stuck in the current.  You can hear them yell help just before I drop the GoPro in the water
Loading up... 
and on the bus.
An amazing trip/date.  Way better than going to Australia for work.
