And Then There Was Sun

It's been a crazy stressful week at work but luckily we had a wellness event planned for this afternoon and we all headed out rafting down the Bow River

One raft headed out before us and "the wellness committee" all claimed their own raft and suspiciously paddled furiously to catch up with us!

Genieve got rid of the skirt and we were off to go rafting in the sunshine (we warmed her that now pictures of her in her underwear would be appearing on the net and in agency slideshow presentations!)

The wellness committee did catch up and G.I. Joan was ready for the kill! We had a good laugh at how commando the whole group looked :) They got too close and we started soaking them with our paddles so they zoomed away down the river after the other raft...

and we sailed peacefully down the river...

all wishing that we had a beer for the travels...

At times we were going so slow that we wondered if we would hit downtown before nightfall... it was kind of a relief when I spotted tall building behind Susan's head.

We passed the other rafts earlier when they had all pulled over for an icecream so we pulled off of the river first and vegged for a bit waiting for the others to show up.

about 15 minutes later they sailed on by...

Carmen had lost her show and it was floating down the river ahead of the raft so Genieve swam out and saved it!

and right behind them came the commando committee...

We docked the rafts...

Unloaded and headed for home :)

I woke up this morning and thought about backing out and not going but I'm really glad I did. It's something I havent done before and it was a major stress relief from the week to just get out there... paddle... giggle... and float... I totally recommend it!
