Rafting & Tubing down the Snake River in Idaho

I have only been tube rafting once down the Metolious River in Eastern Oregon. So I was a bit nervous to go rafting down the Snake River with our kids. However, I trusted the Crabtree's and I am so glad I did. It was seriously the most fun I had the whole trip. Don't get me wrong-the whole trip was great and as always we love traveling and spending time with the Crabtree's. But for me rafting down the Snake was the best. Enjoy the pic's.
Marlee & Ashleigh in their tubes ready to go-we tied them together.
Rhonda, Katie, James, Ian and me~can you tell Ian is crying? He stopped after about 5 mins.
So beautiful~so quiet~so scenic~SO FUN!!!
Me & Ian-the rapids scared him so I held him half the time-then he realized he was safe & loved it. Ian and I really wanted to go again but it was getting to late. Next time~ :)
Rhonda, Katie and James-Rhonda was our Captain~steered us down the middle of the river.
Doesn't she look great! Here is Rhonda, a mother of 3 and pregnant with her 4th-she amazes me
Ashleigh and Marlee~they got way behind us so we ended up tieing them to our raft for safety.
Doug floating down behind us on his tube.
All the kiddo's at the Bill's Island Cabin-it was beautiful. L to R= James, Ashleigh, Marlee, Katie, Owen and Ian.
Jimmy and Caroline with Rhonda and Chris~Thanks guys, we had a blast!
