"Way down yonder on the ...Cahaba!"

As if you couldn't tell, I am trying to catch up on my blogging.  I hate to blog without pictures and I have had a few issues with getting my pics uploaded...everything is fine now though! On we go...

So anyways, this past Saturday (the 21st) a big group of our friends took a trip tubing down the Cahaba River.  This is the 3rd year that we have done this and I think is pretty much a tradition now.  You pay $10 for a tube for yourself and $5 for your coolers tube...and you float.all.day.long!  It is so relaxing and fun and def something I never saw myself doing.  (I don't make it a habit to get into a body of water that I can't see the bottom of and I think this is the ONLY exception to the rule!) 

I am going to go ahead and apologize ahead of time for the major picture overload....I got a little excited about using my Pops waterproof digital camera and took full advantage! Thanks Pop!

Just getting started...

Ashley, yours truly and Phoenix-my shot gun parnters for the day!

After the first shot gun...

Just for you Phoenix...

Our second rest stop after conquering the "rapid of death" (you can kind of see it behind us-not really but we all always look forward to it every trip)

The hubs and OJ doing what they do best...

The Beer Tree

Me and Megan-so proud of her-she was not super excited about this trip, but so glad that she came!

These next few were on taken on our last stop at the end of a very long day (with alcohol if you couldn't tell)... :)

All the boys

And the ladies

At the end of the trip, there is this ridiculously huge rock (well it is for me anyways since I am scared of heights) that either very brave or very drunk people tend to jump off of-we had a combination of the 2!

You can see The hubs, Burton, Ang and Phoenix climbing to the top...

Poor Phoenix had a little bit too much angle on her toothpick and bless her heart is suffering now-hope your bruises get better soon! :)

And yes this is my brilliant hubby doing a Gainer from the very very top...so proud!

The whole gang!

We had so much fun and I am so glad that we have started making this a tradition every year! Thanks to everyone who came and made it so much fun! Love you all!
