I almost died white water rafting, so floating sounds like a nice step down from that--sans the danger. Hehehee.

My husband wants me to take the "Women on Water" classes to learn how to operate the thing; I like lazing around and letting him play captain. LOL I'm not a water person AT ALL, but I LOVE going out on the boat. :)Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047934029762798489.post-3349363181796056372012-08-22T17:26:50.570-07:002012-08-22T17:26:50.570-07:00Duh.

I love the smell of the campfire, but not flies or mosquitoes buzzing at night.<br /><br />On one trip (without the kids) a group of rowdy friends tied about ten canoes together. It was fun until the river narrowed and we had to untie the canoes--and fast.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing back fun memories.<br /><br />DonnaDonna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047934029762798489.post-38314322066367162882012-08-22T11:35:13.566-07:002012-08-22T11:35:13.566-07:00Hysterical!

I can just see you paddling in circles. <br /><br />Just thinking about what that trip would have been like whitewater rafting here in Colorado instead of the Merrimac. Running in circles, bouncing off rocks...there's a reason I don't go rafting! <br /><br />Good for you, Paul-a Bunyon! :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038817817608618088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047934029762798489.post-17637703330423512502012-08-22T08:27:01.969-07:002012-08-22T08:27:01.969-07:00Lynn, you crack me up!

I once white-water-rafted in Colorado. Didn't realize what drove the river was melting snow. My sister and I were in the same raft as a very large (in every sense) family, so when their end hit every wave, it splashed directly onto us. I don't remember how we got back, but we did quit halfway through before hypothermia set in.

As expected (since it was ME), there was a large group of parents who we were "entertaining" as we struggled to get back to shore.<br /><br />I don't have any "experiences" that I can think of, except for this: I thought I hated the taste of an avocado, but it is because I had never had one. Now, I love them...<br /><br />Food on my brain...Imagine that!<br />Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.com
