Friday Night when Casey got home from work we headed for Leavenworth for a weekend camping and river rafting trip. Our friends Rick and Holly organized the whole thing, they have done these rafting trips for several years now, it was mine and Casey's first time! Friday night we hung out at the campsite, had a fire, some drinks, snacks and games and Casey played lots of good music on his guitar! That night I got sick, had a fever and severe sinus headache with tons of snot, YUK! Needless to say I got very little sleep and was a bit worried about how I would feel Saturday morning for rafting.

After some tylenol, various allergy medicine and coffee I was ready to raft. We drove to Cashmere and then got suited up for rafting and took a very crowded bus back to Leavenworth. That was where we met our guide and got in the river. We rafted down the river for 4 -5 hours and it was SO FUN! The Wenatchee river is beautiful and there were some pretty exciting rapids! At one point I thought for sure that our boat was going to tip over, but to my amazement it didn't. Casey and I are definitely looking forward to doing this again. Saturday night I was feeling better and actually got a pretty good nights sleep!

Sunday we had breakfast at the campsite, got all packed up and headed into town(Leaveworth) for some shopping and lunch. It was fun but we were both anxious to get home to the kids who stayed at our house with Casey's mom, (thanks Jamie)! On our way back we pulled off the road and stopped at this amazingly beautiful spot called Eagle Falls near Steven's Pass. The water there is an incredible clear aquamarine color and the rocks are smooth, sleek and huge, it was really VERY pretty. We got home around 4:30 and were greeted by 2 very excited kiddos! It's always nice to have a little break but we missed the kids so much, and it was so great to spend some time with them.
