Grandma Powers' number one thing she had to do while on her visit with us was floating the Boise River. We went out on a hot Thursday afternoon. The water was cold, but the weather was beautiful.
Getting everything blown up and ready
into the water we go, brrrr.
Nadia started out in the boat with me and Brian
always the handsome rower
eventually we talked Nadia into tubing with Grandma
Caitlyn and her buddy Alexis sharing a tube
Brian and Allie
Allie did great all by herself
We had a good scare because we stopped on the river to take a break, and Grandma couldn't get over in time, so she ended up ahead of us. We weren't too worried about her, except Nadia kept saying, "I hope Grandma is alright." It turns out we found her on the bank and she had hit a branch and tipped over in her tube, and of course she wasn't wearing a life jacket and she almost drowned. Thankfully she made it safely to the bank and waited for us. She was pretty shaken up, but still said she would go back again, only this time with a life jacket. (I don't have any pictures of poor Grandma on the bank)
