15 Passenger Van

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd own this:
Last Friday, we did a moonlight trip with 27 people and our trailer was stacked high with 3 rafts and two inflatable kayaks. It was crazy! We had a great time with Donny's sister and her friends and BYU students on dates. One of Donny's sister's friends, I met at a party last year. And when he saw me & my husband pumping up the rafts, he asked, "So do you work for the company?" I laughed before I said, "We are the company!"
The moon was full. It was so serene. We heard two beavers plop into the water. The people in my boat exclaimed, "This is better than Disneyland!" I have to agree!
Friday night, Donny & I just camped there for the night (instead of lugging our gear and ourselves home to Draper). We awoke in the morning to this:

but only a few hours later, it was 85 degrees!

Saturday is suppose to be in the 80's as well. So I think all of you should come up to the canyon, listen to conference on the radio & have a picnic, & then join us for a float from 12-2 and then listen to the rest of conference in the beautiful canyon. We'd love to see you! $10/tube

By the way, our front page of our website is working now. The rest is almost done. (The pictures of the front page are my husband mostly).

I would be there in a heart beat! It is a super gorgeous day outside here too and it kills me that I don't have the privelege of just listening to it outside. I will be thinking about you while I am inside watching it on the computer in beautiful FL.

Alyssa,

So I posted the website on my Facebook. You might consider doing the same. I think it is an awesome website. Very well done. I think the prices are hard to beat. Keep plugging away at the business. It WILL eventually pay big dividends. In time, you will see your hard work and sacrifice all worth it.

If I were there...I'd be sure to go down the river with you all.

There is a lot of adventure to be had here in New Zealand. Let me know when you are ready to come!!! :)

All my best...and congrats on the van!

(There are a couple of spelling errors on the website you may not have caught ..."your" should be you are/you're (in 1 spot_ and "to" should be too (in 1 spot) Just thought I'd let you know so you can do a quick fix.

Natalie & Kate--so good to hear from you guys. I miss you both.

Natalie--thanks for posting the website on facebook. That means so much!!!! I am waiting to edit the website until it's all done. We still have so much more to do & we are waiting to do the editting until we are all done, but I think we should do it now. Unfortunately the webdesigner is the only one that can do those edits. I told him about those spelling errors. Thanks so much!

Yes, I can't wait to come to New Zealand someday. We were just actually talking about New Zealand yesterday while we were waiting for customers. We will take you rafting when we are there!

and sorry Kate, if we ever make it to Florida we'll have to do something else. The crocs scare me! :)
