Water Adventures

It’s been about a week since my last blogging experience. But I have an experience to share. Two, actually. Last Saturday, Zach wanted to go white water rafting with a friend who shall remain nameless. We had been with my sister, her husband, and said friend a few weeks earlier, but the friend wanted to go again. And so we went…again. For those of you from Idaho, white water rafting is something we do here. There are a plethora of rivers from which to choose, and all provide hours of fun. We decided to do the Payette River again, complete with its class 3 rapids. Everything went well…for about five minutes. At that point, we realized the river was WAY lower than it had been only weeks before which meant more rapids. As we went over the first pass of rapids, said friend’s wife fell out ON THE ROCKS and got sucked under the raft, despite her life jacket’s best efforts. Then friend, who was the udder, also fell out ON THE ROCKS. My husband couldn’t paddle because he was holding onto friend’s wife, so it was me and the other girl trying to paddle our way to safety. Talk about an adventure. The rest of the trip remained as exciting, and we were glad to be OFF the river a few hours later. It was fun, but never again will I attempt to do that with two boys, three girls, and a guide who actually just a friend that likes to float rivers. Was it worth it though? Yes. We Idahoans think we can do anything.

Speaking of which, we went to the lake the other night. I had an itch to ski, and so we went skiing. As we were getting out of the water, a man was trying to get his boat onto the trailer. Well instead of ease it slowly on up, he gunned it over the side and it ended up stuck on the cement ramp. How white trash is that? It was so funny though. This guy was an IDIOT. So they finally get the boat off of the cement, and then he backs it up slowly then reverses it full speed into the dock. Luckily no other boats were around. There were about seven in the water watching, but no one was injured by this idiot. And you’d think after the first utter disaster the guy would have turned the boat off. Alas, he still insisted on driving it on the ramp. Welcome to Idaho, where boating can be totally white trash.
