have you ever been white water rafting? before today my answer to that question would have had to be "no." but now? now i can say that i have roughed the rapids of the rogue river and had an amazing time doing it. my brother and his wife (wow, it's weird to say that) met up with my dad and me in southern oregon and together we set off for the river, decked out in water shoes (that's right. water shoes) and life vests, ready for the adventure ahead. spending the afternoon floating down a gorge, we were surrounded by walls of pine trees with the brilliantly blue skies above us reflected in the water below. some herrins and turtles joined us intermittanly along the way. and every once in a while we'd come up on a rapid, hold on tight, paddle, paddle, paddle, and come out the other side soaking wet. it was the perfect combination of relaxation and exhilaration.
so, what about you? have you ever been white water rafting? because i have. ...oh wait, did i mention that already? woops...
