New Zealand Fun #1: White Water Rafting!

-White Water Rafting-

On Sunday everyone went WhiteWater Rafting! It was an awesome experience! We went over all kinds of rapids, dodged low tree limbs, and devoured huge waterfalls! It was alot of fun! I got stuck in the front seat of the raft for the entire trip because they thought I could help them row....boy were they wrong!

This first picture is all of us getting ready for our 1st set of rapids! This is one of my favorite pictures! The scenery is beautiful!



Row Forward! Preparing for the 1st waterfall!



AHHHHH!!! Over the 1st waterfall we go!!!



Here is a picture of us starting to go over the largest commercial waterfall in New Zealand! 21 ft. of rushing water! It was a little scary! Thank goodness we didn't tip like the group before us!



Here is the group shot of us after we survived the giant 21 ft. waterfall!



White Water Rafting was a blast!

JD, your pictures are beautiful! I'm so glad I had no idea, at the time, what was going on in New Zealand! Sometimes ignorance is bliss : )
