Extreme Water Sports

So 2/5 of the Ingy family has been having an extreme water sports weekend. (BTW, is 2/5 right? Y'all know I don't do math, much less fractions!) Here's JR proudly showing off his elbow battle wound from his trip to Lake Livingston with Granny Sherry. From what I've heard, JR (and Granny Sherry too) spent the last few days jumping off a rope swing and tubing behind a ski boat. I haven't quite gotten the full story over the "injury" since he's been on such a high. In fact, he's been so happy he's completely forgone his usual dramatics over such things...and hasn't even asked for so much as a band-aid!
Jason is also living extreme this weekend as he's rafting from Silverton to Durango with his best friend Jay Parker. This rafting trip is actually pretty serious. They had to go Friday night and pass a "water test" to see if they could survive if the boat turns over. Basically the test was for them to "ride the rapids" without the raft. They both passed their test, but Jason said the water was so cold it took his breath away (and he was wearing a wetsuit). They left yesterday morning and camped along the river last night. They'll be back in Durango this evening and I can't wait to hear how the trip went. Jason took a waterproof camera so I'll have pictures to share later!

I feel pretty fortunate to have returned JR with just one small battle wound - trust me, lots of prayers for safety on the way to the lake and twice as many full of thanks on the my way to return him to his mother safe and sound. Good quality time for Granny and JR. Lets hope Jason's incidents are as minor. BTW, Granny slept away most of her Sunday afternoon just trying to catch up.
