Rafting Trip
The Adventurous Parker’s did it again. We took a rafting trip. Michael (Kyle’s Dad) and step mom Tonya purchased a gorgeous cabin in Blue Ridge Georgia last year and so we went up to spend some time with them on Memorial Day weekend. We had such a blast playing games and eating and going shopping! Tonya was decorating and making the cabin look beautiful so I got to run to places with her to look at cute things. Then we went up to the Ocoee River for a rafting trip. I knew we were in trouble when he explained “Summer Teeth: Some are here, some are there, some are in the river” ewww! I did not want anything to happen to my teeth. Tonya and I took our positions at the back of the boat. The least dangerous. We went through our first rapid fine and on the second rapid the boat behind us flipped and I pulled into our boat a girl that had “Summer Teeth” I kept my cool as I inwardly flipped out thinking we still have 2 hours of this left. Miraculously though we ended up having a great time! That is until the last rapid. Our guide asked us if we wanted the Hero or Chicken Route. Tonya and I being the only girls were over ruled by the boys decisions to be Heros! Great! I swear the guy was jumping out of the boat as he told us to “LEAN LEFT” The boat flipped so fast I ended up underneath it only to catch a breath and hear Colton (Kyle’s Step-brother) saying “Save Yourselves” we all made it back into the raft slowing. Tonya had a rough tumble and we were all a little shakin’. But I would do it again for sure. Didn’t that make you want to go?
Anyway I will say that it was worth it and I felt accomplished afterwards. I actually can’t wait to go again. Seriously!
