Shoot the Hooch!

Here we are at the Chattahoochie River...Rachel, Jason and Brighton, Me, Kaylin, Travis and Ethan...and yes the other adults wore lifejackets too! I was just prepared--anticipating those rapids! ;) And we're off!
No, our boat isn't sinking...yet! Travis sat on the back to be higher up but then we started taking on water...Travis' ore broke (mine was hanging on for dear life with duck tape), Kaylin almost fell asleep (waking up for school at 6:45 does that...) and we spent most of the hour and a half dodging other rafts and tubes full of drunk college students!
But we made it and actually really enjoyed the 3 mile drift down the river! We won't mention all the rocks that scraped my butt off or broke my toes...Mom and Dad were there to meet us at our "finish line" ;) with the babies! Abby who scoots on her bum to her final destianations enjoyed sitting in the shallow cool water and Aidrian loved being held by Grandpa.

How fun! I've heard of the Chattahoochi spelling? Isn't there a country song about that? I can't believe how grown up Ethan is!! What a cute little boy!

Happy Birthday Trav! I wouldn't expect anything less than an active adventure for the 29 year old...who hasn't aged a bit! Too cute!!

Looks like a fun time! Yes, that one pictures of you two is hilarious. Made me chuckle too! :)
