Our “brother from a different mother” just celebrated his 40-something birthday. He spent it rafting on the American River, surrounded by his closest friends. It was a beautiful and fun day!
The boys were able to invite a friend. They were so excited to get on the river.
Awesome river rats! Josh, Q, Eric, Mike, and Jared
…and we are off!
Birthday boy, living the life…
Shawn (in the water) found $5 that was at the bottom of the river. The river was shallow and super-shallow in parts…
I love this picture! Mama Shirley is not much of a water person. She chose to wear this child’s life jacket in the bright orange color, instead of the adult jacket in a faded orange. She felt the bright orange complemented her outfit better.
NorCal beauties, Crystal, Josh, and Lindsay!
Post raft BBQ. Keepers of the flame…Shawn and Eric.
Precious friend and prayer warrior (Q), my honey (David), and new friend, Jared…
Me and Mama Shirley (another prayer warrior whom I will be forever grateful for praying over us during times of extreme trial…)
Eric and Crystal
Shawn, resting after a hard day. He neglected to re-applysunscreen and got burnt to a crisp. Hard lesson learned, but totally worth it.
A blessed day!
