A trip down the Snake River

Today we had a white water rafting trip down the Snake River planned.  When we woke up, it was raining...not exactly good river weather.  Oh, well....the guides assured us we were going to get wet even if it wasn't raining.  So...we decided to go on with our plans.

When we went to Ashley's house to pick her up that morning, there was the biggest mule deer I've ever seen in the front yard.

Ashley, Tommy & I arrived at the Mad River Boating headquarters an hour ahead of time.  They told us that because of the cool temps, they were requiring wetsuits for anyone going on the  river.  Even though none of us had ever aspired to wear a wetsuit, we all donned one.

By the time we got in the raft, we knew we'd done the right thing.  It was drizzling part of the time while we floated.

During the course of our river trip, we saw a family of otters, several osprey & even a bald eagle.  Because we didn't take our camera, you'll have to take our word for it.  There are no pictures of the wildlife.  When you see this picture of our ride, you'll understand why we didn't take any cameras.

After we finished our float trip adventure, we came back to the house to shower & warm up a bit.

Ashley drove us around a little to see some of Grand Teton National Park & then we went to the Roadhouse for a nice hot dinner.

The rain didn't spoil our day....not at all!
