Well we are back from our trip on the Snake River. It was so much fun. The weather was perfect. I am proud to say that I was flipped 3 times by waves and rolled up each time. No swimming for Teresa. For those who don't know about kayaking we wear a skirt that is attached to our waste and is attached around the boat. That way no water can come in the boat. But when you get flipped underwater if you can't get your roll then you pull a cord and you are released from the boat. It is not fun to swim.
This is the first time that that has happened in big waves. I always try to roll up but when you are under freezing water upside down with water swirling violently around you it gets to your head and you just want to get out of the water. I also get confused my left and right side. (I can only roll one way up on my boat). So this time I was calm, took extra time to get my pattle just right and wa la. I came up. Everyone cheered! It felt so good. They were probly cheering because they didn't have to go rescue my gear.
Also it was also fun because I wasn't the only girl. Their was one more girl, a beginner. I am always the only girl that goes in our group. Yea for Girl Power!
My family was so kind to watch the kids while we were gone. They said that they were great. I wish they were good for me. I have noticed a difference in Aiden. His two top teeth finally popped through. He isn't as fussy and he is starting to take a bottle. YEA! He still wont take formula so I have to pump. It is really time consuming but I don't want to be attached to him forever.
