White Water Rafting Down the Trinity with Bigfoot Rafting Company

Dear Blog,

Today we went down to The Bigfoot Rafting Company. We went down to the main site to get our life jackets and helmets. Then we drove in the big, white and sketchy vans to the river. When we got there one of the instructors named Erin, taught us all the instructions and he described them really funny. We got in the water and I was freaking out. Every time we would go sideways or backwards I would always complain because I couldn’t see and I was freaking out. After we went on some rapids I wasn’t as scared as I was before. It was an amazing view with all the tree’s there and the water was so nice! And I had so much fun. I was soaking wet when I go out after so that was bad but overall it was so much FUN!!!!!! HI MOMMY, HI DADDY!!!!!!!!

Hey Girl Hey,

So just a quick note to my family am I am so sorry that I have not been blogging, please do not worry I am very much alive. So today we went white water rafting and it was extremely fun! I was put in a boat with Todd so I basically thought I was going to die! The water was so cold! Everyone was jumping everywhere and leaping onto boats and I was basically just chilling in the back with Todd who was piercing my ears with his screams. Now we are journaling and I am drinking a nice peppermint tea. I can’t believe that this trip is almost over; it has gone by so fast! I can’t wait to go to sleep tonight and be all warm and cozy and have a great day tomorrow. Having a blast!

Well today, we went white water rafting. :D super awesome and cold. I got hit in the face with a paddle, (mom I’m FINE. I just have a miner black eye.) and I got revenge by dumping the person head over heals out of the boat. We went on a class 3 rapid and hit a wave that was at least 6 feet tall. It was super fun and Todd was the craziest person. I also beat James at capture the flag. He and 3 other people ganged up on me and I had to run through poison oak to claim my victory. So I did it. Best trip ever!

Yesterday we went white water rafting and hiking.  The trip was amazing because during the time we were in the rafts we went over some pretty big waves.  Also my boat mates pushed me off the boat because I hadn’t been in the water at all yet.  When I was in the water it was freezing at first but then it was warm because after a while when your in the water your body adjusts to the temperature.  Over all I have to say that the whole trip has been extremely fun. :)
