Well finally home and had a good nights rest.
Family vacation/venture crew get together went rather well. There were a few down points, like my getting my first speeding ticket ever. It's paid, it's over with and I'm not stressing about it anymore except to hope it'll be my last.
The vacation involved little sleep and meals were slightly disorganized. However we did practice/get used to it reppelling our first full day there. It was about 80 feet. It was fun, except that I couldn't seem to land on my feet and would land flat on my back. Which I found hilarious and kept laughing about. I got a little anxious when we moved over to another wall and took a break, before going back and doing it.
The next day was free repelling, but I wanted to go white water rafting and needed a study day. Also my head had been killing me the evening before so I drank some water, slept in and then studied. I did go on the hike to see the sun set though, so beautiful.
My Aunt and Grandpa came down Sunday night to go white water rafting with us on Monday. Yes, my 72 yr old grandpa had his first white water rafting experience. Which made us go 'this is where we get our sense of adventure from' especially considering that not to long ago his 75 yr old sister did water slides with us. One of my Aunts feel out in class V rapids and then my mom fell out later as well. My grandpa grabbed my cousin as she was about to fall out and kept her in the boat. It was awesome! Our guide was so cool and relaxed. It's seriously better than going on a rollar coaster.
