Luke is going on an exciting whitewater rafting
trip with his Scout troop this weekend. Today
was a flurry of activity as we packed his
backpack and gathered all of the necessary
items that he will need to have a fun time
on the Kern River in California.
Unfortunately, Luke is comparing this trip
to his birthday river rafting trip where I
took Zach, Sam, and Luke down the
Truckee River when it was running after
a season of the most rain in like 100
years. It was a disaster! Seriously, we
are lucky to be alive. The waves
crashed around us, submerged our
raft multiple times, rocks hit us,
trees scratched our faces . . . We
were seriously out of control,
unprepared, and totally unsure of
what to do on the Truckee River.
Hence, my Luke is a wee bit nervous
about this experience with the Scouts
as he is comparing it to our horrendous
near-death experience down the Truckee
on his birthday . . .
Can't wait until he returns on Saturday
to see how much he loved it!!!!
