Reunion & River Running

It was our annual family outing. Almost everyone came and no pouting. Floated the Provo River with laughter and shouting, Splashing, smiles and some master scouting.

As your family gets older with teens of their own, it becomes much harder to get together, especially if three families live out of state. No amount of planning will make it succeed until everyone is on board. We had the perfect spot at Vivian Park in Provo Canyon, right next to the play land, river and lots of shade trees. How lucky is that. We could look up the river to see if our raft had made it down. Amongst the millions of tubes, it was pretty tricky. Parking was at a premium. Three runs later we were hot, tired and ready to go home.

We met at 9am, sharing a scone and French toast breakfast with fruit, etc. Then headed out with a lunch in tow. The six man raft was rented from BYU which included oars, life jackets and a pump for $80. What a deal! Tubes rent for $15 each trip at the river. With our three trips it calculated out to be about $5. The most fun of all was being together, laughing, splashing and having a great time. Little Max even ran the rapids.
