West Water Canyon
We took the big boys on their first big water rafting trip down West water canyon on the Colorado river.  When I say big, I really should say BIG!!!  The river was running at 10, 700 cfs, which means it is a nasty, but fun level.  Fun as long as you don't flip or fall out, not so fun if you do, just ask Kevin and Tyler,who had the worst swim, or any of the other kayakers.  Sean, Me, Cameron, Carson and Ryan Hamblin were in the boat and we took 3 inflatable kayaks each with 2 people in them.  Sean did a great job of keeping our boat upright!  Cameron, oblivious to the danger, wanted to hit every wave and hole!  Carson on the other hand started out wanting to hit the waves but by the middle (just before skull,  room of doom and the magnetic wall for those of you who have been down. I know, the names sound so inviting, huh.) he was getting pretty quiet.  The last rapids are called "last chance" and "last, last chance" after we went through them Cars was all smiles again.  We had a great time.
