Well, where to begin on our white water rafting trip that we went on a week ago today. First of all we left on my birthday which for all of you who may or may not of forgotten was on the 20th.
Anywho, the ride to our destination was highly entertaining with Scott and Kirk quoting lines from movies, comedy acts and such. Also, the deletion of all of Scott's 3000 songs on his ipod thanks to Kirk may of actually been the highlight of the trip down.
Once we arrived we went to eat at the Big Moose Inn, which for most of us we had no clue what was actually on the menu, but we were able to make due. We all went back to our log cabin which had five beds all in one room, and I was then serenaded by Kirk himself carrying a lemon sponge cake with candles for my birthday. How nice of them to remember, how thoughtful and what great friends I have!
There was Euchre, riddles, and for the rest of us crazy eight countdown. Then the day came and it was time to go rafting! I love how they tell you everything bad that can happen, it just warms you inside when you are already scared to death! Thanks Bob!
Here we go rafting nicely then woooop there we go down a 14foot drop where at the bottom Chris, Kirk and I just thought we would test out the water right off the bat. Once we all get back in the boat, good ol Bob decides we might as well surf the 14foot drop. Good idea! Not! That was when we all are holding on for dear life and Chris gets totally swiped out of the raft and into to current. He was down what seemed like forever, then eventually the kayak girl got ahold of him. It was the scariest thing that has ever happened. Once Chris was back in the boat minus a contac, good ol Bob decides we are going to try the drop again! Are you kidding me?
At that point I was ready to call it quits but I perservered and stuck it out knowing the afternoon was bringing class 4 and 5 rapids. All in all it was a really fun trip and was definately the most exciting and dangerous thing I have ever done. Now will I ever do it again? I am not exactely sure on that but you never know what another year may bring. I may be jumping out of a plane next, who knows. Our group was great and they definately made it a lot more enjoyable. Thanks guys for listening to my whining and for not deliberately pushing me out! P.S. your welcome Scottie for saving your butt!

jumping out of a plane...hmmm...sounds like fun! where you'd get an idea like...who knows! lol...I was looking on the internet the other night, Moncton is the closest place to do the skydiving thing. I think it'll have to be next summer though, people seem adventured out...:(
You forgot the best part of the story Kim. Here, i'll write it for you.
"And even though our trip was grand, the best part of all was coming home and seeing Cassidy. The one and only niece of mine whom I love more than anyone in the world. The end."
my hero... those huge pipes of yours not only caught me and held me in the boat, but i think pushed me back to the left side of the boat... now only if you could have saved me from the toilet bowl from hell... then i would owe you a large sum of money or a child or something... but alas...
haha I love crazy 8 countdown. I'm glad you added that in your post cause it reminded me of when I beat Kirk. Oh, and yes Kim, you were there to witness it! Oh wait...I beat you too! haha i know...I'm mean:)
