Best.summer.experience.ever. Am I lovin’ it?? You betcha!!! And I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
Of the twenty-one days I’ve just spent on the road out west in the United States, I have to say that this one was among my favorites! Did I take these photos? No (though I did post-process). This time, I’m a happy photographee! First time whitewater rafting, and what a special time it was – taken down the Snake River in Jackson, Wyoming, by my nephew (a certified whitewater guide), along with my brother and sister-in-law (on the right in the photos) and my husband (in front of me on the left). The photographer caught us coming through the Big Kahuna rapids (gotta love the name). Thanks, Blake, for keeping me and your mom in the boat. Wish I had had a camera when the guys hit that cold water 🙂
See all the other wonderful photos submitted for the Summer Lovin’ Challenge.

Guess I am not quite as adventurous as you!
I like to canoe on water that is like glass….with a gentle ripple here and there.

Hi, Mary! Well, for those less adventurous, there were also scenic float trips down the river 🙂 Have to admit, those sounded like fun too!

Good Stacy, I had no idea of your skills! Great experience, great time and great photos; so, great summer! Your face expression tells what you say in the post.

Ha! No skills at all, Jaime. When my nephew said paddle, I paddled. When he said take a break, I did 🙂 Apart from that he said when we saw the big water coming not to freeze – just keep paddling through it. And so I did. Guess I’m pretty good at following directions, since I didn’t end up in the river! Such a blast!!

Whitewater Rafting, best experience ever! Whether or not it’s your first ride, hope it’s not the last.

Haven’t rafted at Harper’s Ferry but dumped a canoe there once. Another great place for rafting–although a bit of a drive–is the New River Gorge in the Spring.

Whitewater rafting is exciting. A little scary at first but then a roller-coaster thrill the rest of the ride.
