Floating the Boise River July 2

For my sister Shelley's 50th birthday we floated the Boise River

1.  The crowd ready to go
2.  Ruby, Alyse, and Aunt Shelley
3.  Carla, Mariah, and James


1.  Owen and Mike
2.  Stacy and Owen
3.  Kristey


We all made it!
It was a blast for most of us:)
It came with a few 'trials' along the way, like Sarah's tube popped going over the 1st spillway and Sarah's hair got caught and pulled out by branches and Sarah got cold.  Poor, poor Sarah!  Kristey got separated from us, Mariah bailed water from their 'banana' boat (the whole time),  James paddled the whole time with water pouring down his face (thanks to Mariah :), Shelley and I's boat got high centered and Shelley finished the float kinda on the tube holding on to the boat with a death grip, to name a few, but other than all that... we had a lots of fun and laughs!!!!

Alyse loved every second but thought it needed more spillways and rapids!!


At the end, enjoying snacks
and Shelley's super cute cake Stacy made
Happy Birthday Shelley!
