Floating the River

This weekend we made a trip to Thermopolis to float down the Big Horn River. It is the one thing that Bailee really wanted to do this summer. The water around here has been too high and moving too fast this summer for it to be safe. It was a beautiful day for a float trip. We loaded up the raft with lunch and lots of sunscreen and had a lazy day in the sun. This is no white water trip, but it is just right for a nervous mom and 3 little ones:) Besides it made it easy to jump out of the raft several times for a swim to cool off (water was a bit frio). Bailee and Karsyn especially liked jumping out and getting in the current that they could just "ride out" for a while and then catch the raft. It was a perfect way to spend the day together as a family.
Bailee could not get enough of the jumping in to the river business. I think she definitely spent more time in the water than in the raft:)
