Boise River: Labor Day Weekend

For our Labor Day we spent it floating down the Boise River. This time, the sun was out and it was gloriously warm! We invited the entire Rugby team over for pancakes in the morning and then everyone was supposed to hit the River around 1 o'clock or so, but for some reason everyone that raised their hands at practice never showed! So, in the end it was James and I with Nick, Shakey, John, Shawn with Shawn's Buddy Ryan, Sister and Dad. It was still an awesome day! It might have even been better because there weren't that many of us. That way it gave us each more time on the rope swing and the jumping pad.
Shakey, John, James & Nick
The guys were doing flips off the jumping pad like crazy, some with not so elegant landings. It was interesting to watch though. I tried to get as many jumps recorded as possible, but it always seems like when your camera is off is when the funniest things happen. (With belly flops and such). At one point on the River Shaky jumped clear out of his boat, attempting to get into the other boat and land smack on his stomach. It was the funniest thing ever! I would show you, but... my camera was not ON! O'Well, it was still the funniest thing ever.
Shakey is from (literally) the Ghetto of Atlanta Georgia, "Decatur". Anyways, he had never done anything like this before. (People don't float down the river in Atlanta). So he had a really great time. He and all the other dudes would splash people they had never met, but everyone on the river had similar attitudes. Everyone on the River just acted like they knew everyone. It made for a fun day, with no worries. As Bob Marley would say, "Don't worry, about a thing. Cuz every little thing, is gonna be alright."
Love Always,
