Yesterday Colby and I got to run a whitewater section we have been wanting to run for almost three years. Mirlandra liked our idea of making a party out of it. She planned the party, we took care of the water aspect. When all was said and done, we had a small group of folks to enjoy a very hot Saturday afternoon with on the water. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of the whole group, but I promise Rob and Shae, Rob and Monica, Steven, Lila, Mirlandra, and Mom were all there too.
I never did make it through the shoot upright... but here is a link to my first attempt. I think it's humorous.

On this next one I made it through the two big waves, but I was too off balance when I came out the other side and lost it.

This one is the worst looking of all of them. I'm glad I was the one doing it because if I had been on shore I would have been sure the guy died. I fell out of the boat at a very in-opportune moment.

On this last one I tried a drastically different approach. I almost had it! But no... Colby to the rescue again.

Thanks so much to Caryn for the filming! She did an excellent job, as you can see. And thanks to Colby for being there to fish me out. :)
