Saturday morning, bright and early, my family all met at my parents house, then loaded up and headed north to Kayak down the Sevier River. Whit and Adam couldn't make it because of her pregnancy making her so sick lately. So we really missed them, but hopefully we will go again when they can come.
The kids were a little skeptical at first, but slowly, one by one, they started to really enjoy it.
My dad was a whole other story. He acted like a 16 year old boy paddling around in circles and going super fast, "showing us how it's done".
I love having a twin who is married to a great guy. It's so fun having such good friends with us whenever we go on family trips. We can always count on a good time with these two.
The best part of the trip for me was seeing Tyson enjoying himself and not being stuck in a wheelchair watching us have all the fun. I am so grateful that he has made such a big recovery from his surgery so he is able to join in on the actives with us again.
The part we stopped at was right next to the BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN! I have been there once as a child, but it was fun to go back and see it. Plus to make things even better there were a few old train cars that had been remolded into little hotels you could rent out and stay in. I told Tyson that we are for sure coming back to stay in the cute yellow one some day. It is a dream of mine to ride on a legit train.
Overall it was a wonderful and much needed family trip. I can't wait until our next one and hopefully Whit and Adam can make it also. If you haven't Kayaked down a river, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's now one of my new favorite hobbies :)
