Eric and I were lucky enough to have the opportunity to go river rafting with our good friends, the Sainsburys last weekend! We could've have asked for better weather either--HOT temps, blue skies, and no wind! Perfect for floating the river. We didn't leave Boise until almost 1pm, so by the time we got in the river it was about 3, but we had an absolute blast on some seriously intense rapids!
Our friend and guide, Chris Sainsbury (a former river guide) took us through some crazy water, where we had lots of Class III and even a few Class IV rapids! There was even one spot that is deemed a Class VI (and unfloatable for safety reasons) where we had to get out and take our raft around.
We got soaked, of course and Eric fell out! I even almost fell out, the rapids were so strong! Chris said we did awesome though and we were totally safe the whole time. The best part besides screaming all the way through the white water was seeing our kids at the end. Meghan, Chris' wife, met us at the end where we got out and had a picnic dinner with all the kids. We scarfed down some food and then headed to Kirkwood Hot Springs for a little evening swim! It was beautiful and so warm and the kids could've played in there all day long! Such a fun day!
