Wyoming day 2

I WOKE UP IN A SAUNA:

I had a rough night of sleep last night, between kyle breathing heavily, twigs snapping and bushes rustling it was hard to sleep at all! When i finally did fall asleep i woke up multiple times. Then i finally cant sleep at all anymore because ITS SO HOT! who knew the tent doubled as a sauna? not i. My parents and grandpa are already awake. We have french toast, bacon, sausage, eggs, juice and hot chocolate for breakfast, im not sure why but food tastes so much better out here! it was DELICIOUS! I got talking to my grandpa a little and he said how important it is to love your job. I am very VERY BLESSED to LOVE my job. I always look forward to going into work.

-go for a run

I think i will go tear up some dirt now! ;) 

DIRT-STACHE ANYONE??

after breakfast and clean up we got the raft out and jumped in the river right in front of camp with dad on the back as always, my mom on the right and myself on the left and kyle at the front! first time. sketchy business. for the first little while it was stressful because it had been a year since we had rafted and kyle was new to being on the front. plus the river is always changing, curving, the rapids are sucking you this way and that, there are fishers, logs, rocks and shallow spots. it gets intense. we hit two gnarly spots! the first we saw A LOT of downfall in the river so we all bailed off the raft and dragged it to a rocky island luckily right there for us just in time! our only choice was to walk across the raging rapids to the other side of all the downfall, i was so scared! the river is deep and strong but i didnt have a choice we all made it safely and kept going. the next spot was some CRAY-CRAY unexpected rapids and BIG rocks! kyle is soaking wet and slipping all over the place, dad is barking commands like "paddle hard right, hard right! now left left!" my mom and i are holding on for life then we go straight for a huge rapid and hit it hard! kyle starts falling so my mom and i grab the back of his life vest and pull him backwards into the raft, with out kyle steering as well we hit a huge rock! dad is paddling frantically to keep us away from the high pokey walls while the rest of us help kyle get situated again once were out of the rapids dad shows us he broke the paddle in two! haha but we got out the next chance we had and grandpa was waiting for us with the truck. We ride back to camp and decide to go to town to buy a new paddle. Kyle and i take 4-wheelers and dad and grandpa ride in the truck and mom stays at camp. I turn on my music and take the lead. A couple times there are herds of cows blocking the road  so i reach out and pet them(: its fetching hot especially with the engine burning my ankles but going 45 mph feels pretty good minus the bugs hitting your chest (OUCH!) 25 miles later were in town. we pick up the things we need real quick and are on our way back. Finally were at camp again a 50 mile 4-wheeler ride leaves you completely covered in dust! i wipe off with a wet rag but still feel disgusting so i jump in the river, its freezing but refreshing as well. Now kyle and grandpa are sleeping and mom and dad went for a 4-wheeler ride and i am doing this. all i can hear is the river and birds...and the sound of me eating garden salsa chips ha i feel like i am on another planet, everything is so beautiful here! no picture does any justice its so peaceful. Well steak and crab are for dinner pretty gourmet stuff i must say. Us Johnson's we do camping right!

whatastud!

I THINK COWS ARE ADORABLE!

I finished my book in two days i have another one but it reminds me a little too much about person things im going through which i dont want to be reminded of. Tried the crab at dinner it tastes like eggs to me, i didnt like it. But hey! im all for trying new things! Dad is making lava brownie fudge cake for dessert in the dutch over, a camping classic along with any type of cobbler.  Anyway i cant quite tell if im getting a good tan or if im just really that dirty. Probably both. At least we have a shower in our trailer, I'll probably do that after we go to the lake.
