Rafting

As promised here are the pics from our rafting trip.


When we got there we were informed the water temp. was a whopping 38 degrees! We had to put on wetsuits and splash jackets to keep us from turning into river ice cubes! Luckily we did not get a pic of us actually putting them on, just imagine lots of tugging and adjusting!

This is the view, gorgeous huh!

Our guide John told the people in the boat the could jump in if they wanted, and of course Alan did! He quickly realized how cold 38 degrees was and proceeded to really wedge himself in the boat so he didn't fall out again!

Jessie and I were smart and stayed dry!

It was so much fun, I would recommend it to anyone in Colorado. We really wanted to do the full day trip under the Royal Gorge bridge, but duty called (Jennifer and Grandma Cleo were watching the kids) Next time we will though!
