Awe, Wednesday morning. We got up and went for a little hike outside the lodge. It had rained during the night so it cleared some of the smoke so we could totally see the Tetons much better and a beautiful rainbow to top it off.
After our hike we went back to the room to get ready to go into Jackson for our white water rafting adventure. We made sure we had time to get some breakfast before we checked in. Wendy also needed some water shoes and a hat. We found a place to park where Teagan, Connie, and mom got some breakfast at a bakery while Julie, Wendy, and I went to see what shops were open to help Wendy find what she needed.
The stores we needed didn't open until ten, so we went to Starbucks to get us some breakfast. Julie and I waited for the food while Wendy bought her goods. We then met up together and walked back to the rest of our group. After eating we then drove to our check in point and got us all set to load the bus when our time came.
We all then loaded the bus and it drove us up the road about 30 minutes to our loading point. We got the safety lesson and our lift jackets and we were ready to go. Our group was in the back of the raft. Connie and my mom sat in the middle of the raft where they didn't have to row but just hold on and have fun.
The rest of us rowed on the edge and it was so much fun. Our guide, Will, was so good and really funny. Someone said something and he told them he would give them a straw so they could "suck it". So funny. We all got so wet and it felt so good. There were a few spots that he said we could jump in the water and swim if we wanted to. We did not, but I did like putting my feet in.
We went through some awesome rapids. Will said we went through some size 3 rapids and they were amazing. I wasn't ever scared or worried, I just loved it the whole time. I totally want to do it again. It ended way too fast but we got to the end of the line and had to get out. We then walked up to the bus that took us back to the office where our car was parked.
