Thanks to John and Krista getting hitched, a huge crew of Utah friends came out to cute little Corvallis! Tyler put together a day of rafting down the old Santiam river. The weather was so so nice after weeks of nonstop rain. Even though Aly and Jake got tossed out of the raft, and Jake yelped "save me!!" like a little pansy, it was a great river crew... Aye, twas the greatest river crew be known...

Lezlie, me, Tyler, Cody, Aly, Jason and Jake

The coolest chicks I know...

Tyler and I were a little freaked out by the camera angle making lezlie's head look extra big and Aly's extra small... ahhh!? so weird!

For some reason, everything got funnier once we got in our wetsuits. We could not stop laughing at the dumbest stuff. Lezlie brought the house down by blowing the whistle attached to her life jacket.

All smiles here, but little to they know, these two will get clothes-lined by a huge tree branch and will be out of the raft, swimmin' in the rapids shortly after this picture was snapped.

Then, of course, the boys found a bridge to jump off. It was pretty high and the water was FREEEEZING... Here's brothers Cody and Jake showin' us how it's done.

Jason and Tyler. It looks like Tyler is jumping straight onto the rocks...

And last, with no partner, the solo bird. The drop was longer than i thought!

I suck at swimming in cold water. My body goes into shock and I lose my breath. Here's Jason and Tyler getting nervous that I'm not going to make it to the bank...
