Rafting With Joe & Nana!

Rafting With Joe & Nana!

We had a fabulous day whitewater rafting on the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. The pics are a bit hazy as the camera was in a fogged-up aquapac. The camera was still in Bill's pocket for both of the highlights of the trip: watching Canada Geese shoot the rapids for fun, and when Bill flew out of the raft and body surfed through the rapids for a while, desperately trying to catch the raft and then desperately trying to get back into the raft. Joe, Nana & Giselle valiantly pulled Bill out of the drink. Bill's a bit bruised from the rocks but hopes to make a full recovery with a careful regimen of tylenol and beer.

Nana can't wait to get on a green schoolbus.

We're about to get outfitted with PFDs and funny-looking plastic helmets.

Aww, it's like being in grade school again. Only with helmets and paddles.
