To start off the summer right, we went on a rafting trip down the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. We went with a big group of our bravest and most adventurous friends!! It was a very fun day. I entitled this faster, faster, faster because those happened to be Eric's favorite words to Coleman and I the whole day. We paddled hard and I am sure at times we could not have paddled any harder.... you know what I am talking about Daddy!!

The water was pretty tame for the most part, the weather beautiful, the company fun and the day well spent!!
