So I have to say that white water rafting was tons of fun.
I will admit that I was absolutely terrified pretty much the entire time. I'm obviously a pretty cautious person, to put it mildly. Afterall, when I was a kid, they had to come pre-warn me when they were going to do a fire drill at school.
Embarassing, yes. But . . . those are the facts.
Because of how embarassing that is, I decided a couple years ago that I was going to make a conscious effort to 'step out of the box' more. I decided that I would try almost anything once (aside from sky diving and bungee jumping) because most of the time, I ended up enjoying it in the end. I realized that I was missing out on things just because I was scared to try them, when most of the time there was no reason to wimp out in the beginning.
Sometimes this motto works for me. Other times not so much . . . roller coasters normally being one of those times. But that's a whole other story for another time.
But in the end, I have to say that I'm really glad I tried white water rafting. For some this probably isn't a big deal, but like I say, it was pretty big time for me. And in the end, I was able to give myself a pat on the back and say 'I did it.'
Plus, I had a blast. Even better. And in the end I was even saying 'lets do this again!'
The other plus side to this whole thing is that we were able to do it with family, and even make an entire weekend out of it. It was tons of fun to have a full boat of people I know and like to spend time with, and that encouraged me that it was going to be ok. And now we can all refer to 'that time we went white water rafting together.'
So for now you are left with these few pictures, again courtesy of Krista. There will be pictures to come in the future though . . . the CD is on it's way.
