Rafting

Since I am playing catch up all these last posts may or may not be in the right order :) A few weeks after moving here Matt's company sponsored a camping/rafting trip. Happy to be without a million projects and anxious to get out of the apartment - we decided to try it. We got to the campsite fairly late so it was already dark. Luckily I had glow stick necklaces with us. They were great! Each kid had a different color and I could keep track of where they were in the dark. I think that will have to a camping staple - at least for the younger ones :) We just camped the one night - our truck hadn't come with all of our stuff so we didn't have our usual tent. We bought a 4 man tent and squeezed everyone in. The next morning we set out on a rafting trip. The older two loved it. Hailey loved it until she got tired..... Caleb loved it until we went through a bit a  rough spot and he got splashed by the really cold water. Then he would cry whenever he could hear rapids coming. It wasn't long before he fell asleep too. That's him and Hailey crashed out on the benches of the raft :) It was fun but rather long for the younger ones and too tame for Jackson, Matt and I.......

See Caleb's fangs in his picture? He has pretty big canines :)
