River rafting

While the weather was warm, the two Zito family's decided to go on a rafting trip. If was very fun and wet. Nathan and I went down the first time by ourselves with Zeke. After the first wave, Zeke fell off the boat and it was so much "fun" trying to get him back into the boat. I was soaked from head to toe and had to ride some waves with them crashing over in my head as I was ducking under the seat to hold onto the dog. Anyway, he finally got back in the boat and survived. The next trip Heather, Josie, Anneke, and Johnathan braved the ride with us. To our surprise, the little ones really enjoyed it.....asleep. The must have been rocked by the boat. Anneke, poor thing, got very wet, thanks to my "playful" husband. =) She was sitting in the back of the boat, innocent as could be, when he turned it and soaked her with a wave. As you all know Nathan, I'm sure none of you are suprised! It was so much fun we decided to take the boys down again on Memorial Weekend. It was much colder (probably less than 70 degress) but they enjoyed it as much as they could. They were so cold when we got back to the car, we had the heat on full blast and their lips were still blue. Heather slept through it all again. Nathan was very sore because he had to literally row us down the river to avoid the rain that was gaining on us.

Such a cute little family..Josie's snoozing away.


Heather enjoying her first river trip...snoozing away too!

I think Heather looks like sponge bob with her life jacket on.

Such brave little men. I do have to have to point out Aden's muscle definition while holding on!

Yeah, we survived without hypothermia!

Holy cow - Aden's lips are still blue in the picture! I love the muscles showing on both boys - what fun memories they will have!
