We had already scheduled several long vacations during the summer. I received a text from our new friends from the Grande Ronde Trip asking if we wanted to join a multi-day adventure on the Lower Salmon River. We pulled it together in 2 weeks and borrowed a raft from our neighbors. The entire family went, including Sparky. It was a great family vacation and adventure. I feel like this past summer was a big turning point for our family in that Lindsey can now participate in the activities that brought Chris and I together. Its really fun to look back on the pictures a few months afterwards. It really was a memorable trip and a great time.

| If you are going to learn to swim rapids you have to start somewhere! |
 |
| Campsite, Day 3. |
 |
| Buddies and an exhausted and nose-swollen Sparky! It only got better from here! |
 |
| Thank goodness Bunniken made the cut! |
 |
| I don't remember the dog's name but Lindsey never has trouble making friends wiith four-legged buddies. |
 |
| Glad we will have someone to man the oars when we are over 55! |
 |
| We live in a beautiful State! |
