Whitewater Rafting

Whitewater Rafting

Crashing through white waters, precariously leaning to one side, water fights, swimming, I was super excited for my first white water rafting trip.  Our neighbors the Dickinsons were hosting the rafting trip. My dad and I got there around six a.m for breakfast. After eating my cereal we headed off in this amazing and old car. The only catch was that it was a four hour drive to the rafting place. Finally we got there and sat in this old fashion bus for another twenty minutes.

We got there and paddled off after putting on our lifejackets of course. After a couple of minutes our whole boat laid eyes on The boxcar.

This is an amazing water

Sadly we missed it by a couple of feet. After another hour or two of water fights we stopped for lunch. We had make your own sandwiches for lunch. My rafters and I devised a plan to take pudding cups and chocolate bars on our boat to fling at unsuspecting rafters in water fights.

Lunch Time!!!

It was amazing.  We took some time playing in some warm water and went on this little homemade water slide thing and a whirlpool. The whirlpool was actually called The Washing machine. I went in it and spun for a while. The mini water slide thing had a very long line but I still got to ride in it for a while. At the end of it The water pushed you under for a second or two and then you floated up with your life jacket. Without one you would have stayed under a little longer.

After leaving the warm water we went body surfing.  It was so cold! Before we had slid down two rafts that were upside down.  It was also cold, but not as cold as the surfing.  That was one of the best trips I've ever went on!!!
