So Wednesday was the rafting day. We drove to north of Gunnison, CO to run the Taylor River. The we is Kristin, her mother, and her 77 year old Uncle Fred. And our guide was Wild Bill. We were running 3's and the water was about 45 degrees. Wild Bill informed us there were 3 commands, ALL FORWARD, ALL BACK, and TAKE A BREAK. Things went Well for the first 30 minutes, but then we had to do an ALL BACK. We thought he said FALL BACK, and so we all four leaned back, leaned back, leaned back, as he yelled louder and louder, and we drew closer and closer to a big rock. We hit the rock just after we came to our senses, and Wild Bill saved us by swing us around. When we later got an ALL BACK right, we cheered, much to the weird looks from the boat behind us.
All in all, we had a great day, and really loved rafting. Meanwhile, back at the cabin, the girls were watched by cousin Cheryl, and we were very thankful for her sacrifice. I think the girls made two trips with her to the city park.
