In June we took the boys on their first rafting trip down the upper section of the
Nenana River. We went with our friends from Fairbanks, the
Shill's, who have this huge
cataraft so we were all able to go on that. The boys were not a fan of their life jackets and screamed for the about the first 20 minutes until Hayden finally passed out in Jeff's lap and Canyon decided to deal with it. After that we had a great trip with beautiful weather and scenery and friends. During the float, at one point, Canyon started saying moose, moose and we all thought, oh how cute he thinks there's a moose, and then Ali said, no there is a moose, and sure enough up river was a mama moose and a calf standing on the bank. Jeff was so proud, his little hunter can spot the game first even at 2!
Ali passed out on the raft
Doesn't get much better than this
Canyon's favorite spot to sit was on the dry bag in front of dad
Saige and Canyon
Here we are at one year, Hayden left, Canyon right
Now we're 2!!! Hayden left, Canyon right. For the boy's birthday, June 4th, I was taking a group of young women from church on a hike in Denali so we didn't get to celebrate their birthday till a few days later. Of course they didn't care they were just excited to get some blocks and cars and to FINALLY not get in trouble for tearing and ripping something!
The anticipation, the victory
