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.
