Rafting on Clear Creek!

WELL, on Sunday June 28Th Vicki and Doug were going rafting with their kids and friends from California. They all wanted me to go with them and I was like no that's OK I don't know how to swim and I have never been White Water Rafting. Doug said it would be ok and we would all be together and Vicki, Abby and Doug had been before and they new what they were doing and that we would have a guide that would tell us what to do. So I got brave and decided to go with them, Well when we got there we were on the intermediate rafts! What! I was a little nervous along with Abby's Friends Chantal, Roxie and Rheanna. We got on all of our gear and loaded on the bus and we were off to Dumont to start our adventure!
We unloaded and were put on to rafts, well Doug and Christopher where on another raft which left all of us girls on one raft! They teach you how to row and some commands and then off to the water we were. Very scary for the first few min. until you get the hang of it. We had a wonderful guide, Mario, he did a great job with all of us. We had a great time! I would do it again! Sorry the pictures are backwards.

on this picture all you can see of Doug is is hand on the left front of the picture and Christopher on the right.

Catching UP! BBQ At Vickis

For the last two weeks I have been in Idaho Springs Colorado! I had a great time while I was there, I got to spend time with my sister and my dad. My dad had some sugary on the 29Th of June and I was there to help my sister take care of him. He is doing great now and I am so glad that I got to spend time with him. I haven't done that for a long time as he spends most of his time in Mexico. My sister worked during the days and I tended dad. Vicki and I were able to sneak in a couple of sister days! We had a great time, shopping, scrap booking and we even made a little garden for my sister. On this day which was the day I got there Vicki was having a BBQ for all of their friends and her kids, because they were there visiting also. We had a great time.
