who: Tyler, Cole, Sean, Aryk, Kristen
what: a relaxing float down the elbow river
the story?
Sunday: Aryk gets a text message saying that if we want to go rafting we should be ready in HALF A HOUR! we race around. quick showers, quick breakfast.
OFF WE GO!!
OFF WE GO!!
arrive at the house containing Cole, Sean AND Tyler
they all have JUST gotten out of bed..
Aryk and I play some CRAZY games of ping pong, while the rest of the boys enjoy a leisurely breakfast (SEAN MADE COFFEE!! yay Sean!)
and in time..
OFF WE GO!!!
to the river?
no silly!
to Canadian Tire! for we need
life jackets AND RAFTS
oh the decisions..
"the picture on this box has a girl with big boobies" "this raft looks bigger" "but the boobies..."
eventually it figured out
we paid.. and..
OFF WE GO!!
but first to our ending spot!
drop off the car?
well no.. because there is a reserve here.. the roads are blocked here.. there is a cliff there.. oh and a bike competition bike thingy going on..
but eventually it was figured out
OFF WE GO!!
but first... we are hungry.
lets grab some grub! chips.. drinks.. sandwiches..
NOW we are ready!
we drive out to a place outside of bragg creek named Lotsofhorses or something like that.
we drove around and round
long story short.. we found a parking spot!
yeuuuussss!!
OFF WE GO!!!
hmm.. maybe we need a pump for our rafts to be inflated...
Sean and Tyler run off to Bragg Creek to grab more beer, as well as buying a pump!
while waiting.. my Aryk that boyfriend of mine full of hot air.. filled up ALL THE RAFTS!
Sean and Tyler eventually came back.. and apparently NONE of the stores had a pump! so they ran around and around checking out all the store.. and finally found a pump! only to come back.. to see the boats were already pumped! blown!
NOW WE RAFT!! OFF WE GO!!
now is that what you really think? that really everything else would go perfectly as planned? Did we even get on the boat? did we forget our paddles? did the wildlife people come before we took off and stopped us? Did we get arrested? did we nap on the rafts all day and end up with terrible sunburns?!
come back later! to read the rest of this maybe thrilling.. or maybe bland blogpost! PART TWO!!
