date night: float the river

my parents offered to watch the kids for us to go out on a date on friday night
we weren't sure what to do since there aren't any good movies playing
but i suggested we float the river and michael was game
 we own a raft so we figured out how to shuttle and we did it!
it was a little out of our comfort zone 
it felt like we were back in hawaii doing something spontaneous
it was really fun
 the whole trip down the river was gorgeous!




 we put our phones in ziploc bags in case we got wet
we got really wet
and they leaked!
 this was our first big dip down and it soaked us and got a bit of water in our raft
 it was fun to go under bridges and see people rope swinging and fishing


we were hoping to make it back before sunset 
because our car would get locked in the park if we didn't
so we hurried and made it
the sunset was gorgeous 
and even though michael's phone is trashed
and mine only works to talk on speaker phone
we would definitely do it again
it was super fun and way more memorable than a movie
we went to dinner at gino's afterward 
it was delicious as always and we were starving
thanks mom and dad for watching the kids
and thank you michael for an awesome date!!!

Crap! I should have warned you about the ziplocs leaking. Ours leaked too and we were afraid our car keys were done. I was too scared to bring my phone. But I love that you got lots of pics. What a fun date night! I want to go again.
