rafting down the colorado river

 We had a blast rafting down the Colorado River, and even encountered some Class III rapids! Woo-hoo! We left out of Kremmling, CO which is about an hour from Steamboat.
 getting ready to get on the river
 Jerry jumped off the infamous 40 foot cliff... we later found out it is named "Jump Rock" -- so creative :)
 it was a gorgeous day... not much wind, lots of sun, temps in the 60-70s, and a small rainshower towards the end!
 Dad was so excited that we saw not one, but TWO Amtrak trains go by while we were rafting!

 our super-sweet guide, Beth, let Grayson sit in the "driver's seat" and paddle us down the river for awhile
the boys with Beth
 a crazy pose!!
Carter was sound asleep and even SNORING on our way back to our car after the raft trip! It wore him out!
