Rafting!

The next day, we went white water rafting on the Matanuska River.  They provided us with gear and then gave us a talk about what to do if we would fall out of the raft.  This had me panicking a bit inside.  When we were about ready to get in, they recommended putting the most adventurous people in the front of the raft since it would experience more turbulance.  Hmmm- Jon, Scott....and my mom!  Whew!  I was thankful to be safely seated in the back of the raft with the girls & my dad.  

Our rafting guide, JJ, did a great job and kept us all safely in the raft.  We spotted a moose while going down the river, and it trotted along the bank with us for a little while which was so cool.  This was the kids first time ever to do anything like this, and we all had a fun ride! 

We stopped to look at some Dall sheep on the side of a cliff.
