Raft Trip

This is us having fun at a rafting outing( picture coming soon) . there is a place in Missouri you can camp out and then take a leisurely float down the river on a big tube. You bring your lunch and whatever beverages you choose to drink. Our choose was beer and a vodka cocktail mix. the kids had soda of course. Brian had a hard time steering the raft and drinking his beer at the same time. At one point he had spilled his whole beer on the bottom of the raft. Unbeknownst to us Coco discovered that mistake. During the trip I kept feeling sorry for her and giving her sips of my beer. We stopped along the way to eat our lunch( there are lots of shoreline to pull over) Coco was started by a guy in a RTV and tried to woof. that was the most pathetic bark I have ever heard from a chihuahua. she couldn't even lift her head to give the guy a glare. One time we stopped to do a pee break and saw a copper head heading towards us in the water. This guys that happened to stop along the way to do a pee break as well , one of them picked up the snake and flew it into the trees. we were shocked. We quickly got back into the raft but not before witnessing the guys falling over their canoe and ruining their jukebox in the water. they were a little inebriated as well. the raft rip was great! A few ladies that were sitting by the shore got a kick out of watching poor coco try to walk a straight line up the hill when we returned our raft. Poor coco was a little slow moving the next day and very docile. The most I have ever seen her.
