River Trip!

Thursday June 26th my singles ward left to go on our river trip. We went down to Green River and rafted there. Thursday we got there and set up camp. Then Friday was the first day that we floated the river. We got in cars and drove up to where we were going to float down from. The whole time we were pulling and pushing people out of the boats. I got pushed out almost as soon as we were on the river. I don't know who threw me out, because the boys started fighting in the middle of the boat and all of the sudden I am in the water. Then at one point I pushed John in the water and he pulled me out with him. We went half way and then had lunch. After lunch we got back in the boats and finished floating the river to our campsite. Dan and I ended up in the yellow boat that was always behind everybody else. so we decided to get out and swim to the other boats, but we didn't make it to the other one before we came up on some rapids. they tell you to go through the rapids with your feet in front of you. but once your in the rapids it's hard to keep them in front of you. So he was beside me when we first started going through. then one time i got hit with water in my face and turned and Dan was gone. He had gotten caught in a different current then I had and ended up behind me and on the side of the river by all the rocks. I went right down the middle and was hyperventillating. I didn't float the rapids again after that experience. Then Saturday we floated from where we had lunch. it wasn't a very long ride. but we still had fun pushing each other in the river.
