Kayaking in Missouri






We decided as a family to do a fun vacation this year. We went to Missouri to do a Kayaking trip down the Current and Jack Fork river. We got there on Monday afternoon and did some swimming, and yes the water was cold!!! The boys did some cliff diving and Ash and I looked for minnows. The cabin we stayed in was right on the river. They had a pool and putt-putt golf. On Tuesday we were picked up at our cabin and delivered right to the river. I must say the guys that drive the van's there drive like I do (crazy) its curvy and lots of hill's. We picked the longest trip to do the first day. It's was 19 miles, of the most beautiful water and scenery. You could see the fish right under you in the water. There were caves along the way and we stopped several times to get a drink and a snack. It took about 8 hours that day. The last hour I could tell the kids were getting tired and hungry. Day two was just as fun and had a little more adventure. Ashley and Dustin were the only one that did not flip their Kayak. We really had a wonderful time. Very thankful for what I have, A great FaMiLy!!! Will post more pics later
