We all had so much fun rafting last month, we decided to get in another day of fun while the weather still permitted. This trip was a bit longer than our first rafting trip. Our friend Brian, who joined us for our first trip too, joined us again for a scenic float on the New River.
We took a break about halfway through our trip to check out a really great riverside spot owned by a friend of Luke's. He owns a hunting and fishing outfitter and has put up a yurt on the side of the river for camping or just hanging out for the afternoon.
This was a beautiful spot with big cliffs on river left and wild turkeys running around on river right. Addison was getting a little tired and grumpy sitting for so long, so this stop was a nice break. Next time we will have to bring a picnic!

It was a pretty chilly day so we had to bundle up. Addison loves to wear her mittens and hat, so it was even more fun of an adventure.
Addison gives the biggest and best smiles!
Addison wore herself out and ended up taking a forty five minute nap in my arms. I don't get to hold her that often while she sleeps as I am pretty strict with her nap and bedtime routine, so this was a lot of fun for me to just hold her and watch her sleep. I am really looking forward to many more trips with her and teaching her all the great things to love about the outdoors.
