What a BLAST!

River running down the Snake River in Jacksonhole, Wyoming. We have so much fun. We go every year. All my brothers and their families come along with my dad and Machelle, Sarah and grandma Linda. Shawnee and Hayden brought a friend this year. Lexi Svedi and Jared Heer. We missed Adam and Heather this year, new baby. Maybe next year. We run the river at least twice a day. The kids love it. We took Ammon, Cortlyn, Sarah and Kate down this year and they are addicted! They loved going as long as they weren't in the "wet zone." The wet zone is the front of the boat that gets the wettest. The only one that braved the front was Kate and she was soaked. You could see the goosebumps on her little legs but she never complained. They will never be left back at camp again.


One the first day second run we ran into a movie star getting on the river in a kayak. Right next to us. We couldn't believe who it was. It was Vince Vaughn. We exchanged some words and he was on his way. We didn't really recognize him with the helmet on his head but as soon as he said something we knew that it was him. Who would of thought that we would see a celebrity on our vacation. Pretty cool.





We went through the week without anyone getting to seriously hurt. Lexi fell in on one of the rapids called The Rope. She just lost her balance and plopped in. She held onto the rope that is on the boat and we pulled her in. No one fell out at the BIG KAHUNA! Here are all the kids that survived the BIG KAHUNA! Minus Tyrell of course. Sorry buddy you are still to little to go down. Maybe in a few years. They are officially river rats for life. They won't be left in camp again.
