Sassy Cheryl's Show Me #34

It's another week of sharing over on the Sassy Cheryl Blog. Cheryl and all of the Sassy gals like to see what projects (or activities) are going on this week! If you haven't played along, check out the details HERE.

We have family visiting from out of state this week. So, this weekend I didn't get a chance to work on any crafting projects. The Alaskan summers are short and our weather has been gorgeous!Link My aunt decided that white water river rafting would be a good group adventure! So, she signed us all up and said we were taking the EASY rafting trip.

Below is a photo of twin moose calves that we surprised as we came along the river's edge. They were SO adorable! Later, we saw a mom and her calf but I didn't have time to get a photo.


So, here is a photo of us on the EASY rafting! About half way through the trip (it was a 12 mile trip) the guide let us know that we were actually on the trip rated 3-4! Apparently, that's the advanced rating. Yikes! Our guide was really knowledgeable which made my first river rafting experience much nicer. We went out with Nova River Rafting. If you're ever in the Anchorage area you might want to give them a call!

Yes, I am in the back and hoping that I don't get soaked! Oh, did I mention that this is a glacier fed river and the water temperature is about 31 degrees?! That's why we're all suited up in dry suits!

Hope you all are having a fun summer! Hopefully, I'm back in my crafting room again this week for a few evenings. Thanks for stopping by!

Wow! Love the photos, especially the one of the moose. I hear Alaska is just gorgeous, but since I don't care much for cold weather, so I guess I"ll have to stay here. Of course with the heat wave that we've been having lately, I'd seriously consider it.
And the white water rafting. I've always wanted to do that. Looks AMAZING!
Thanks for showing your 'activity' this week. ALWAYS enjoy your posts!
Hope you'll get some crafting done this week.

Wow Cynthia, great shots. Love the moose pictures, and I see you hunkered down in the back of that raft. Congratulations on doing a 3-4 your first trip out. Looks like the Ocoee in TN and about the same temperature.
