We were not able to raft very much this year. The rivers were very high with the run-off, so we tried to take advantage a few times in July. The river was so cold and muddy. But it is always a thrill to float the Snake River above Alpine. Camille and Michelle brought a few of their children to ride for the first time of the season.
Bruce is always a good sport. He did say that the cold water never bothers him, but this water is fifty-five, and it did bother us all. Bruce has raised his kids to just have fun and be good sports.
Michelle and Camille both brought their wetsuits. But Camille forgot her kids wetsuits. Real good, Camille. Poor little Ciara. Toward the end of the trip, Mike brought out a few rain jackets for the kids. Mike is always so prepared.
All of the grandchildren used to be little kids, and now they are getting taller than me. Where did those years go. Stop growing so fast. Oh, it is so fun playing with them. Carter was camping and Brooklyn was doing a marathon.

Great picture Alexis. That was good photography. Go grandma.
Ten will be on the raft today. Glad that Mike is in good shape and exercises. He will have a precious cargo to get down the river.
And the are off. Fine figure of a man...
My mom came for the ride. It was a beautiful day. Caden wanted to help her out of the car.
Brooklyn, Carter, and Tom were able to come this time.
We are getting donuts out of the truck as a treat before we head down the river.
The boys are enjoying having Brooklyn along and listening to her stories.
Yes, they all love her attention.
Michelle and Tom are preparing for the voyage.
Michelle and my mom stay behind to drive the truck to the take out dock.
We are having a great lunch that Michelle prepared for us before we go down the river for a second float.
Cannon, you are such a ham.
And there they go. It is a warm, beautiful day and the water is still cold. The float takes about an hour and one-half. Thanks Mike for sharing the raft with the family. We all love floating down the river with you.
