Floating Down the River

We went on a family river adventure! We packed around 30 people into several rafts and canoes for a 4.5 mile river trip. The water's current was very slow, so we all just floated along; we only paddled when we needed to avoid hitting something (even though we ended up running into things anyway). We also vegged on snacks the whole trip. We made several stops along the way to cool off in the water.

My kids loved throwing rocks in the water

The whole trip lasted about 4 hours. Dayton and Daphne enjoyed themselves. They loved stopping to get out and play in the water. They also liked bouncing in our raft.
