(Although I'm sure it wasn't funny to you, nor would it have been funny if I had just watched that show and then went tubing!) ;) I couldn't even handle watching Jaws--as mechanical as the shark is supposed to look and all! I just can't stand scary movies! <br /><br />Meet you at the campfire, and thanks for going rafting with us today! :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-91253946170269855862010-05-18T21:27:49.802-06:002010-05-18T21:27:49.802-06:00LOL Amber!

Tubing is a lot of fun, except when your like me and your in 20 ft. deep water and it just so happens that it's Shark Week on Discovery channel and right before you left home, you watched a documentary on how Bull Sharks LOVE deep, freash water rivers. YIKES! I was so scared, believe me. Anyways I'm on my way to the campfire now, just got to get my jacket, it's a bit chilly tonight.:D<br />Love Ya,<br />AshleyAshley (Ibreath2read)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07954357949807284386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-53262728891154795722010-05-18T20:32:48.835-06:002010-05-18T20:32:48.835-06:00Ashley,

Aaaaaahhh! *Splash* <br /><br />Anyway, that's so fun that you enjoy some water sports. I've never been tubing before; is that fun? Like I said to Renee, I don't generally consider myself a brave perso, so I'm not sure what I'd think of tubing! ;)<br /><br />Well, I think I better go get dry (again) by the campfire (now that we're both soaked!). Hope to see you there!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-67792578404207932062010-05-18T20:15:27.991-06:002010-05-18T20:15:27.991-06:00I'm game, Amber! I love the adrenaline rush......I'm game, Amber! I love the adrenaline rush....maybe a bit too much, though.LOL;D<br /> <br />I don't think I've ever been rafting (not including today)but, I've been canoing and tubing so, I guess that's kinda like it. <br /><br />Okay, so which side should I get on?

Rafting isn't for everyone, I suppose. ;) And being in a canoe is a lot of fun! (Although our family tends to disagree a lot over who is supposed to be steering, and once when my dad and I went we actually got capsized in the middle of the river by the wake of a motorboat! That was a little scary--and wet!)<br /><br />Ariel: That does sound scary! I hope everyone was alright! I'm sorry you didn't have as great an experience rafting. :( Hopefully today's experience was a little better! ;)<br /><br />Bluerose: Sorry you couldn't do the trust test with us! ;) But don't worry--we're out of the water now and you can join us around the warm, dry campfire whenever you get a chance!<br /><br />Donna: I have had a lot of fun rafting! If you go with a guide, it makes everything feel a lot safer, because they guide you through everything and tell you what you need to do. (Life jackets are also a plus!) Great to have you join us today!<br /><br />Renee: It's so funny--I wouldn't really consider myself that brave! I guess taking swimming lessons when I was younger, as well as swimming in my grandparents' pool, helped. :) But it was nice of you to visit anyway, and now we're back safe and sound on land once again! <br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-38633748625534533462010-05-18T19:37:54.344-06:002010-05-18T19:37:54.344-06:00Ummm you are the only brave girl at camp this week...Ummm you are the only brave girl at camp this week!

I would be scared to death, and if anyone did convince me to go, they'd definately have to assure me of their ability to save me, should the need arise!

I guess I figure there's no need to try and be brave to impress him anymore. :P just kidding!I could never do the trust test in the water!!!Bluerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680170638396181756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-78293826444003863802010-05-18T16:21:33.620-06:002010-05-18T16:21:33.620-06:00Our school take the senior class rafting every yea...Our school take the senior class rafting every year. That was fun - but scary. Our experience was unique: we were all paired up with another raft; two rafts in each launch. The other raft tipped right as we were finishing, and they tipped at the last big rapid and were stuck on a rock. Rachel and I were slowing getting out of our raft and got shoved out by a worker so they could go back and help, and we ended up getting back late for lunch so they could save the other raft. It was really scary, considering i have a fear of water. Thank God that wasn't our raft!<br /><br />Glad you have fun times rafting :)Ariel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00212280764832749005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-45577406147638094352010-05-18T14:25:05.487-06:002010-05-18T14:25:05.487-06:00I've never been brave enough to go rafting but...I've never been brave enough to go rafting but I have gone canoeing and I did enjoy that. :)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074246485893419689noreply@blogger.com
