My girls have been asking for us to take them white water rafting for a while now so when my amazing friend Dawn Brooks organized a huge rafting trip, we just had to jump on board, and what a GREAT TIME we had out on the Upper Salt River!
With all the rain that has fallen this year, the water was perfect for running and it was simply beautiful to be out on the river experiencing some Class 3+ rapids!
The real exciting part was right before lunch we headed down a big rapid! In an instant, everything went sideways literally, and in a flash both Lily and our guide got launched out of the boat! Even though the river was rough and rocky and the chaos was a little scary I knew without doubt that Lily could handle herself, and she did.
Bob hauled her and our guide back in the boat and we all made it through with a few bruises and a great story. Everyone was so impressed by how Lily handled the whole thing. She was amazing, because of course she is. The guide turned to her and told her, "Congratulations, you are now part of the Salt River Swim Team!!" I should get a shirt made for her.
We stopped for lunch and had an amazing steak lunch. The whole experience was wonderful and such a great adventure.
We know cool people and had such a wonderful first rafting experience!
