White Water Rafting 2007

Published by joyofstamping at 6:36 am under Life

Every year one of my co-workers/friends puts together a White Water Rafting trip to King’s River here in California. We are leaving today to head up north the the Fresno area for this expedition. We are spending the night in a hotel near the rafting spot and then rafting begins tomorrow and Saturday. These trips are always a blast…. but I somewhat chickened out of it last year. I went 2 years ago and here are some photos from our trip……

This is my husband Kurt with my sister Joyce right before we started rafting:

This is our rafting trip somewhat beginning……..

Rapid 1

Then, they made us paddle harder…….

Rapid 2

Next thing you know, we hit Banzai……..

And then this happens………

We had a great time….. But, you can see why I get a little nervous thinking about it. Pray that I return on Saturday in one piece……

    oh my gosh, my heart jumped when I saw that last picture. I am NOT a water person… but I’m sure you’ll be fine and have an awesome time! How in the WORLD did you get those pictures, though?!?!

    You are my hero, Joy! I did that once YEARS ago and would love to get up the courage to do it again! Looks like fun! (Praying hard for a safe return!)

    OMGoodness Joy!! I’ll be thinking about you this weekend while I’m kicking back relaxing at the beach! ;) I sure hope that guy bouncing out of the boat made it home in one piece!

    It looks as though you had a good time until someone fell out of the raft. I hope your all doing well. The pictures are beautiful!
