Wenatchee

Last weekend we took our annual river rafting trip with our friends to Wenatchee. And of course what trip would be complete without a trip to the ER? It happened on our first run about a quarter of the way down the river. I got thrown from the raft and dragged through the rapids. I was violently slammed onto a submerged rock and hit my rear end and my foot. It was (and still is a week later) excruciating. I thought that for sure something was broken because I couldn't put any weight on it or move my toes. They put me on crutches, which was difficult because of the open blisters on my hands from the previous days workout of 140 pull ups
Both hands had stinging blisters
So I got to sit around the camp with the dogs. Our friends the Valentines had a lot of friends and family there and pretty much everyone brought their dogs. One of my favorites was Ruby, a Bull Staffordshire Terrier-- super muscly. She also grunted and snorted like a pig. Cute.

Despite the injury we had a blast. Super nice weather and lots of rapids.

There, you have been warned....
