My parents watched the kids so that we could go. They met us at the Clear Creek Rafting Company and had the kids watch us get ready, brought them to watch us get in the river, see us at different points in the river, and convinced the bus driver to let the kids ride back with us. (That was the kids favorite part).
(Look at our awesome stylish wetsuits :)
It was fun! The river is high right now, we took the beginner course which I thought was perfect. Only thing I recommend is paying the $3 for water booties for your feet. They provide wetsuits and everything, but not the booties. Well, me being the cheapskate that I am, told Rob that we would wear our tennis shoes in the water and then our flip flops afterwards.
It was a 90 degree day. Perfect, but having your feet soaked and sitting in 38 degree water for the whole trip makes them ache, cramp and then slightly go numb!
The river was gorgeous. We went through a canyon and the mountains were beautiful to look at. At multiple bridges that we went under we actually had to duck in half to not hit our heads on the bridge, this is how high the water was!
The white water waves that we did were scary and fun. Rob had a blast. He looked excited and fearless in all the pics. I looked scared and half excited. I really did have fun though :)
It was a great experience and an awesome christmas present to celebrate in June :) I like those type of presents, and it makes me wonder what our next adventure will be...

That sounds awesome! Nate and I need to get out more. :)
That is so fun that you guys did that!!! I am glad no one went all "Kevin Bacon" on you like in the movie The River Wild. I just watched that on tv the other day so when I see rafting I think of hijackers and people getting shot. hahaha Random I know. . . .
SOOO fun! You two are so adventurous! I am glad the kiddos got to watch their parents having so much fun too :)
You guys are too cute.
