Whitewater Rafting on the Lehigh River


Today we went Whitewater Rafting on the Lehigh River.  Last year we went rafting on the Delaware River.  It was fun so we decided to do it again, but to step it up a notch or two.  It was class 1 & 2 rapids with a class 3 for a little challenge.  It was fun.  The kids did a great job helping to paddle the boat.  Even Anneli did a great job!  They certainly are growing up!

We left our condo and headed out to the Pocono Whitewater company.  We checked in, got our lunches, put life vests on, listened to the safety chat, and then boarded the bus to the river.  There were probably about 150 people on the adventure.  There were guides that helped guide us down the river.  We got on the boat at about 1:10pm and we didn't get back in the car until about 6:30pm.  It was fun, but it was a long, long day.

It was a beautiful day to be out on the water.  It was warm, but not terribly hot. It was perfect.  Unlike last year, we didn't get sunburned at all.  It was perfect weather for an afternoon of Whitewater Rafting!
