Rafting 2019

On July 13, 2019 me, Amma, Baba, Sohom, Sohom's parents, Anjali and Nikhil, Anjali and Nikhil's parents, Arya, Arya's parents, Mina and Mina's parents went rafting. Me, Amma, Baba, Sohom, and Shree aunty were in one raft together with our guide Matt. 

The first rapids we rafted on was called Entrance. It was boring. The second rapids we did was called Bull dog. It was really fun but me and Sohom did not row because there was a 5 feet drops in it. We sat inside the raft while adults rafted through the rapids sitting on the edge of the raft. The third rapids were called Curve. It was not as fun as bull dog. After the third rapids we stopped for lunch. The rafting people gave us fried chicken and potato salad for lunch (I did not have the salad). After lunch I swam near the place where rafting guides parked the rafts for lunch. 

After lunch and swimming we did three more rapids. The first two were upper staircase and lower staircase. They were the longest rapids. I and Sohom also were allowed to jump off the raft and swim for sometime middle of the river. It was fun. Guides pulled us back on the boat before the last rapid. 

The last one was White Horse. It was my favorite rapids because the rapids came together and made a V shape then when the raft hit it, it went up really high. It also had a 5 feet drop. I had a fun time rafting.

This is our 4th year rafting!
