Family Reunion

So my mom's side of the family had a little reunion get together up the canyon at my great aunt's cabin. The river runs right next to their cabin so we go tubing down the river when we have anything at the cabin. So it started out nice and kinda mellow just lazily floating down the river. Then I ran into a tree and popped my tube. Luckily we had a little kid who could ride with his dad so we just towed the tube I was on. We had some family camping about halfway down our trip, my cousin and her little baby (almost 2) got out and that gave us an extra tube which was good. So then we got going on the harder part of the river which I didn't really realize was the harder part. I guess I was just expecting more of the same and well the first big section of rocks knocked me out of my tube. I went down the rocks holding my tube in one hand and got beat up by rocks the whole way down. Luckily I didn't hit my head or anything and my uncle was there at the bottom to grab my tube so I could settle down and get back on it. That didn't last for long though me on my tube. Another section of rocks that beat up my arms and legs but missed my head. Then there was a spot where I could stop and catch my breath and out on the road my cousin had stopped which gave me the great chance to climb out and quit right there which I did. Over all it was fun but I don't think I'll be jumping in to do it again anytime soon. Oh I tried to get a picture of my bruises but apparently I'm too pale you can't see the purple at all on the camera.
