River Rafting Trip!

It was all packed with a ton of fun, with the highlight being a 2 and a half hour fiver rafting trip down the snake river including punching waves (putting all of your weight against them and take them right in the face), relaxing, and swimming through a rapid.  John made it safely past the rapid, but I got sunk by a small whirlpool and used all of my strength to push out of it.  I could have easily hit a rock, because I went down the rapid on the left side (the dangerous side), but luckily I didn't.  Instead, I bobbed up and down trying to breathe while being engulfed in waves several different times.  After I was out, I relaxed on my back, only to realize that I was in an eddy and had to swim as hard as I could to the boat, even though I was drained of strength.  If you want to read more on this story, just check out mine or John's Facebook page to find more details about praying and receiving answers of comfort and safety.  It was a blast and we're both so glad to have had an experienced guide with us.
