FREE FALLING
Looking back at our trip to New Zealand last year I came across some photos of Mike and my Brother in Law Andrew white water rafting in Rotorua...it was quite the adventure, and I don't think I ever posted any photos of the waterfall drop. The truth is, they rafted over the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world...yup, and they lived to talk about it!
Mike wisely kept his mouth closed during the plunge, but to be honest, the water in this river has to be some of the cleanest on the planet
but I guess it was more of a precaution to not drowning!

Life is meant to be an adventure.

oh that is so cool!! i had no idea mike had it in him, but it doesn't surprise me- :O)
Crazy dudes!
WOW!! Great photos!!! I admire that spirit...especially when it comes to water!
Great post & I TOTALLY agree! :)
Ho-Ly Crap!
I went on a Class 4-5 and it scared the dooky out of me. That looks like pure insanity!
Holy cow! Go Mike!!!
And look how calm and composed he is!
Here's to the spirit of adventure, may your girls enjoy the same!
That looks awesome! I would be too chickenshit to do that, but I could see John doing it. He and Mike need to take a field trip together to do something.
Pure Brilliance!!!
NICE!! So jealous of the fun!!
Oh my! That is awesome! But, there is no frickin' way I would ever do that!
Kudos to Mike. Looks terrifying to me!
I"m pretty much a wimp and would never do that. I went kayaking once just to prove that I could do it. I have no reason to ever do it again!
But, like you, I hope my child grows to have a sense of adventure.
Are you kidding me????? That looks so scary but I just have to show my husband and daughter, they would absolutely love that!!!!
Love and blessings, Kristy
