Rafting the Rogue River

After a lazy morning, we loaded in the van and headed for Shady Cove. We had reservations to go river rafting on the Rogue River.  The place we rented rafts from wasn't much to look at but they got us all geared up, drove us to the top of the river run and then picked us up afterward.

When we first got going on the river, Ethan was a bit nervous. He hasn't been rafting before so he didn't know what to expect. He felt out of control just floating around and wasn't sure what to think when we kept running into rocks.

Courtney didn't have a problem at all because she was with Brooklyn, my cousins daughter. And they have a blast together.

Ethan relaxed after a bit and had a lot of fun!! We had 3 rafts and then one of my cousins was in his own kayak. One of the rafts was supposed to be a "dry boat." It didn't stay that way for long. We had some great water wars and everyone got soaked. It was so much fun!!

When we finished and were back to our cars, we went for the traditional ice cram at a frosty place. The scoops were HUGE so the kids were in heaven.

Here we are getting ready to go:
