Rafting Top 10

I am not including the top ten pictures from rafting (I'm holding those over people's heads to help supplement my income). I am not even explaining the top ten most fun activities of Saturday, August 11th, 2012.

 I am recording the top ten reasons why the people who went rafting were not insane.

1. Experiencing Jeopardy with Michael Schaedel and Vanna Tompkins is worth getting up at an ungodly hour.

2. We got to see a whole new side of people.

3. We got a whole new opinion of life jackets. They may not be the height of fashion, but they keep you warm. We aught to pass them out to the ladies at church.

4. We learned multiple uses for paddles - like avoiding pictures. 
                                       

Maybe I should just say we learned multiple ways to avoid pictures. Notice the distinct absence of Mrs. Tompkins:

She was on the other side of the camera. And, for the life of me, I could not find a picture of the Schaedel raft.

5. No matter whose raft we were assigned to, we could usually fellowship with other people by jumping to their rafts. For example, take a good look at the Jump King:

6. We got plenty of delicious food. (Breakfast on the bus, and Snacks With Steve not pictured - but you can tell his raft was a happy one.)

7. We made unforgettable memories. Just ask.

Or, follow this link. We start going over the edge on page 2 near the bottom.

8. John Chism gave a heart-warming testimony of God's work in his life - which he would probably never tell in Sunday school.

9. We got a lot of bonding time in on the bus driving home - we were too busy fellowshipping to record it.

10. We got to spend nearly ten hours with some of the most enjoyable people in the world.
