Whitewatahahahahah HaHaHa!


J&K and our white water rafting trip was more fun than I ever thought it would be. It started off very nice and tranquil, and it ended up with my wife being violently plunged into the roaring rapids near Banks. Our guide was the infamous JACOB from the Czeck Republic. I told hime that one of my favorite hockey players was frome there, and we were immediately the best buddies. JACOB lives in a tent at a campground all summer while he is a river guide. Anyway, he showed us really fun stuff like "riding the bull" (sitting on the front of the raft while going through the rapids,) and jumping off a 30 foot rock into the icy rapids. Kelsey even did a flip. I did the Nacho Libre dive... but Kelsey kinda stole my thunder!!!! As a matter of fact, by the time I swam back to the boat, they had forgotten about me and were starting to leave! True story.

Luke's Adventure to the Zoo










Austin took a lunch break to join us at the zoo yesterday. It was so much fun! We had Bethany and Grace, Whitney and her lover Sefton and us. It was very hot but worth it. We forgot Luke's hat so we bought him a $5 tiger hat so he wouldn't get sunburned. It was a party!

Our latest hiking adventure







For those of you who don't know, we like to hike. Our latest hiking adventure happened on Friday, August 24th at Stanley, Idaho. That place is so beautiful although the road up there is very, very windy. Here are some pictures from the day. Luke was very good for the 2 mile hike up there and pretty good on the way back. The hike is right next to the Sawtooth Mountains. We hiked up to a beautiful lake called 4th of July lake.
