A great time was had by all as we spent last weekend rafting and camping with some of my family, most of Kirk's family and our good friends, the Riddles, on the Clark Fork river northwest of Missoula, Montana. Kirk guided as many trips as we could fit into two and a half days. The adults and kids all got their share of whitewater. The water was perfect, the weather gave us warm days and cool nights, the camping was convenient and perfect for a big group, and the food was delicious.
Yes, there are 21 children and adults - a record for our large raft. A great time was had by all as the little kids rode the 'rapids' and swam down a gentle section of the river. Giggles were in abundance. The older boys had a great time on the smaller paddle boat with Aunt Kelli guiding.
Jaxs was the only one lucky enough to get a piggy back ride on the kayak thanks to Aunt Jenny.
I loved to see my kids having so much fun with cousins from the Davidson side and the Johnson side as well as a few Riddles mixed in. Pictured: Hannah, Megan Riddle, Halli Whitby, Paige, Natalie Johnson, Katie Riddle.
Lots of the kids became fast friends over the weekend. Sadie and Katie didn't seem to care that they had never met before.
Tent camping with cousin Natalie was heaven for Paige and Hannah.
I loved being with my brothers, sister and Kirk's siblings and parents. I feel lucky that we all get along so well and have so many neat people in our family. I can't wait for next year's 2nd annual Clark Fork Rafting adventure!
