The women of our church had a special rafting outing on Saturday. The men you see in the picture are our guides. We had a fabulous day. The sun was shining and the river was so clear you could see to the bottom. Katie and I went together. The rapids are a level 3 on the McKenzie and were for the most part subdued..with the exception of a few spots. We had one very quick scare when Katie fell out of the raft on a rapid! My adrenaline definitely kicked into overtime and I had her back in the boat in less than a minute. The guide's wife, Kim, also fell in! She said that was the first time she had ever fallen into this particular river..so Katie was in good company! The weather has been fabulous! We have been in the mid 70's to low 80's. We are enjoying lots of outside activities!
Yes, I know, the url name doesn't really match the blog name. We are what I like to call a "nomadic' family. We have moved more than most. We are currently in our sixth state. For some reason we find ourselves drawn to homes that need a bit of rehab. Most of our postings as of late are focused around our most current house, and some random ramblings.
