So I thought I would tell everyone about my adventure I went on yesterday. Well Bryan had decided while I was at work, we should go White Water Rafting in BC Saturday morning. Meaning I had to get up and leave at 3:30 in the morning after working all week at work. Well needless to say I stopped at Tim Hortons and got a very large coffee. We end up on BC and they tell us that the river water is run off from the glacier in the mountains. I was ready to quit then and there. I can't even get a cold shower let alone be splashed with ice water. Well I decided to go anyways. I was soaked head to toe and eventually I became numb and didn't feel cold anymore. I really thought I would hate rafting but I had so much fun, despite almost flying out of the raft. Can't wait to try some rafting in some warmer climates!!!
Well just thought I would share my adventure with everyone. :D

It looks so much fun when I see it on the telly, but I'm too much of a coward to go out and do it. :D I'm really glad you had such a good time Tracy, I think your very brave. ICE COLD WATER :eek: (they'd need to heat it up for me I'm afraid) :D

:D We could all get togther in BC and go as a big group, the Parrot Forums Group. Hahaha that would be some good pictures. I never got to take any pictures because I don't have a water proof case for my camera. I did find a picture on the internet of what I did, I'll post it underneath because photobucket seems to be down at the moment.
I went on the Kicking Horse River (in the picture) which is in between Field and Golden. You have to go with us next time Indigo!!! :D
