Rafting the Payette

Remember the co-worker I mentioned in my earlier post?  The Great Great Grandson of George Ferris.  His name is Glenn and he was super generous to take our family rafting last weekend.  We rafted the Cabarton stretch of the Payette. Glenn had taken Kendall and I two summers ago.  This year, he took the whole family.  Sidney was ready for her first rafting adventure.  

Here we are waiting for the others to show up.  We passed the time by trying out our rock skipping skills.

We stopped for lunch at a little beach along the river.

Here we are taking the plunge.  Glenn's wife Noni, took pictures of us as we went by.

The girls look half terrified and half thrilled.

I would say that "thrilled" won out.  They were begging for more.

A few of our summer interns joined us in kayaks.  Megan is an amazing young woman.  She did great maneuvering the rapids.


I love this picture of Arril!

It was a great day!  The girls fell asleep within minutes of getting in the car for the trip home.  Thank you Glenn, Noni and Gabe for such a great time.
