Stabilizing with the Scarcellos



James' Sister (Denise) and her two boys Will (8yrs) and Hank (5yrs), came to town this week; and of course they wanted to see the infamous Spokane River, so we took them.  We all had a great time.  I couldn't stop laughing at Hank's expletives.  Usually he is stern about not participating in anything remotely risky, so Denise was greatly relieved when he willingly stepped into the inflatable kayak.  Not only did he participate, but he really enjoyed it.  Each time we encountered a wave Hank would yell things like, "Stabilize!" and "This water is sending us into chaos!"  There was a lot of playing in the waves and behind rocks plus Mark achieved a hand roll on camera.

So Fun!

and he's up, with no assistance from the paddle!

Oh, the chaos!

I just found out that my helmet is reversible

We pulled over in an eddie to take a break

Justin is doing that on purpose
Which way do we go?

Hank slid off the boat for a swim without anyone noticing
...except for the camera

Yes, the water was a bit chilly
