River Trip and Chuckwagon Dinner

So, Wednesday, we got up and in the morning, we went on a scenic Snake River boat trip. We have no pictures yet because we took a waterproof camera. I should have them later to download. Anyway, we took a bus ride down where they put the boats in. We floated 8 miles and saw the most beautiful canyon type settings. We saw lots of Canadian geese, mallard ducks, osprey, a buck and two bald EAGLES!!! When we went the eight miles, we stopped and hiked the ridge up to a campside breakfast of scrambled eggs, BUFFALO sausage, wild rice pancakes, melon and cowboy coffee! It was delicious. We then went back to the buses and changing stations and wrestled, literally, into our wet suits. I don't think I have EVER been so uncomfortable in all my life and you can't get the stupid things up in the crotch! So you walk around feeling like a duck! The kids of course fit right into theirs ... skinny little twits....we got back into our raft and headed for the WHITEWATER RAPIDS!!!!! AAHAHAAAAAHHHH! The water was 42 degrees and would take your breath away when it hit you. It was SO much fun! We laughed and yelled and paddled for all we were worth! There were Class II and III rapids so it wasn't so crazy but enough to make us laugh and scream all at the same time. We traveled eight miles and got back to the buses to ride back. It was awesome. Then in the evening, we did a chuckwagon dinner! We rode in the wagons 2 miles to camp and had a dutch oven BBQ dinner. Then the cowboys put on a show, sang some western songs and Spencer got picked to help sing "She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes!" It was so cute ... Jack was more concerned that he didn't get two brownies with icing instead of the one he got and he wanted to check all the little pots on the table to see if there were any left! Erica laughed watching this one cowboy sing --- his expressions were so "over" exaggerated and it was hysterical to watch him sing! We got home and we were exhausted from our day for sure but had tons of fun and saw such great sights!
