Daddy-Daughter Trip - Day 4
We woke up early and got ready to go river rafting! When we were ready we had some breakfast at Tudor's Biscuit World. The food was great and their biscuits were almost the size of an apple! Then we rushed over to Wildwater Expeditions to get our gear and rafts. After that they taught us some water safety! Then we left. When we got to Thurmond, we all carried coolers and put them in the rafts. Then we started paddling down the Upper New River. Later, we came to a rock about 15 feet high and everyone started jumping off of it! Brenna jumped twice from the top and Erin jumped from a place almost at the top. Then we stopped for some lunch. Brenna had two sandwiches and some fruit. When we got to the big rapids, our favorites were the ones called "Surprise" and "Little Deer's Foot." Brenna rode with Daddy in the "Duckie" and Erin rode on the big raft with our guide "Mr. Bodie." Daddy and Brenna almost fell in the rapids! We got to do a lot of swimming and played a game called "King of the Duckie." After we had rafted for eight miles, the ride was over. The big bus picked us up again and drove us back to Wildwater. We changed out of our wet clothes and went back to camp. For dinner we had hot dogs and baked beans. We hate baked beans!!! We worked on our journals and wrote post cards to Mommy and Mollie. We also finished our Junior Ranger workbooks. Then we went to bed.
