This past weekend, Josh and I joined our church's youth group on a little trip to Wetumpka, AL to go kayaking on the Coosa. It was soooo much fun getting to hang out with those kiddos and the other leaders that went, and just enjoy God's beautiful creation on the water. And it was beautiful!
This was mine and Josh's first experience with kayaking on the river. We're both semi-avid white water canoers, and have kayaked in the ocean before but never the river. We were pretty big fans of it once we tried it out!
The rapids on the Coosa were a lot bigger and more fun than the ones we're used to, so of course Josh and I were trying to find the most difficult/dangerous routes that the river had to offer and go through them! Josh and I are so used to riding together in the canoe that we would catch ourselves paddling side by side, studying the next rapid that we were approaching and trying to decide what the best possible way to get through it would be (this is how we communicate when we're canoeing). So much fun!
So after about 4 hours of being on the water, you can imagine the bus ride home was pretty quite as everyone was napped out after our long day. I think the kids all had a blast. I know WE did:) We'll definitely be joining those kids again next year.
