"wait wait! i can speak their [jock] language" - leilani
i had so much fun sunday!!
it was over 100 degrees outside so we gathered a group of fifteen girls to have a day of floating down the Clackamas river in inner tubes.
~~ so much fun ~~
We floated about five miles! How rad is that. Most of it was lazy-relaxing-floating-along the river and then we’d get some mellow rapids that got everyone’s heart rate up and had us squealing like little girls - even the butchier ones of the group. LOL. I think people capsized only a couple times - not too bad. One tube out of 15 deflated so we had to grab one of the extra tubes that was holding the ice chest and give that to the tubeless individual. Poor leilani had the raft so she was stuck with both ice chests towards the end. Getting the beers and trying to keep them river-water free while bumping along in the river was an adventure in itself.
Apparently all of portland decided to float down the river too. it was jock-o-rama and tuna central all down the river. it wasn't that bad though - i kinda liked all the randoms out there being loud and obnoxious. it added to the "weee! it's summer and we're on the river with beer and friends" element of the day.
I only suffered a bit o’ sunburn but girl, this pale skin needed some color. Now I have some color and freckle freckle freckle. The sunburn was worth it - I can’t wait to do it again.
