For those of you who have never experienced river rafting, you have got to do it! It is such a blast. When we were in Bakersfield for the 4th of July, Trevor and Natalie took us rafting down the Kern River. We left the little ones (Ethan, Kandrea, and Lilia) at home with a sitter so we didn't have to worry about them falling off the raft. :) We split into groups and each had a guide to steer us through the rapids and down the river. It was about 107 degrees that day, but the water was very, very cold so it was wonderfully refreshing to get splashed! And we got splashed...even soaked! We even stopped a few times to play in the water. Everyone (except me) jumped off the raft and floated down the river for a small stretch just floating in their life jackets. It was tooooo cold! Then at one point we pulled over and the guides flipped the rafts over so we could slip and slide on the back of the rafts. It was hilarious to watch and so fun to do! We really had so much fun and are anxious to find some bigger rapids and do it again. Here are some of my favorite shots....
