Saturday Snapshot

Welcome to Saturday Snapshot which is hosted by Alyce At Home With Books. Photos can be old or new, and on any given subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don't post random photos you see on the internet.

Sorry for the delay, but here are more pictures from my Denali trip this summer.  One of our adventures was to raft on the Nenana River. 
 As we were not experienced rafters, we chose to let our guide "Chicago" do all the work.
It was a wise decision, because the water was 36 degrees and kind of rough.
 I felt a little guilty having him do all the work, but I did tip him well! 
My stepdaughter and I are in blue on the left.  It was a day we will never forget!

  5. That's one of the things I've never done...had a chance to go with Scouts, but my son wasn't really interested in the rafting trips. I think it would be a lot of fun!

    Here's my Snapshot.

  8. Rafting is so much fun, but that looks cold! I don't blame you for letting him handle it all.

  9. If it were warm out that would be something I'd do... but in the cold, brrrrr. You are brave!

  10. wow - I have only been whitewater rafting once but it was in the summer in West Virgina so the water was warm. Which was fortunate since our lack of skills meant we spent a lot time in there!

  11. We did that in Washington State on the Columbia River when I was a month or so pregnant and had no idea! - Obviously or I wouldn't have gone, right?
    Intense and fun, right?

  13. I've never been whitewater rafting, but it looks amazing. I'd say the guide gets paid for doing the work, so you were right to let him. Here's Mine

  17. White water rafting was my sister's favorite thing to do and she went as often as she could. Luckily she lived close to W.Va., and they have some awesome places for it.
