Rafting and Hiking Adventures

Yesterday, I was able to go rafting with Todd and some good friends on the Clackamas river. It is too bad we don't have any pictures for proof of our adventure but we had such a good time. It is always so nice to be able to share the rivers and hikes that we live so close to with friends who visit. Erin and I paddled in the front of the raft for most of the trip and definitely endured the most splashes and full body wave impacts. It was also great to have Todd guide our raft. He has been such a kayak snob the past few years, I have not been able to get him in a raft. He did a fabulous job of heading us in the right directions and putting us through all the meat of the rapids. The day before we hiked up to Mirror lake. The hike was beautiful and we were even able to have a snowball fight by the lake. Yes, there is still snow up there in July. But, most of the trail is open and there was just a little bit of snow to hike over around the lake. I wonder what other adventures we will find before Erin has to leave on Monday. She is having so much fun she is thinking of staying a few more days.
