FOLLOWING IS A COLLAGE OF ASHLI.
SOME ARE WITH HER GRANDMA (FARMOR) VERA,

ERIC HAS PASSED HER UP.
WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND

SHE IS SO MUCH FUN!
WE WONT GET TO SEE HER NOW UNTIL CHRISTMAS.
WE LOVE YOU, ASHLI!

ASHLI ALL THE WAY! 

WHITE WATER RAFTING

OK. HERE ARE THE PICTURES

OF SOME OF THOSE

WHO HAD A 'DEATH WISH'

APPARENTLY THE PHOTOGRAPHER

ONLY LIKED THE PEOPLE IN THIS RAFT,

BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND

ANY OF THE OTHER RAFT.

THIS IS RAFTING

ON THE 'LITTLE PIGEON' RIVER

IN TENNESSEE.

(OR IS IT NORTH CAROLINA?)

THIS WAS ALL THAT WAS LEFT AFTER A FEW MINUTES IN THE RAFT. CHECK OUT THE SAGA IN THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS. 

ARE WE READY FOR THIS? 

SO CONTENT AND PEACEFUL! HA, JUST WAIT AND SEE! 

INDIANS UP AHEAD! 

'CRUISING DOWN THE RIVER...ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON..." 

ARE THERE SNAKES IN THIS RIVER? 

THEY SAY THIS IS THE 'LITTLE PIGEON' RIVER. NEXT TIME THE 'BIG PIGEON'? 

GO, LITTLE BOAT, GOOO!! 

THERE ARE 7 OF US, PLUS THE GUIDE. I WONDER HOW MANY OF US WILL FINISH THIS TREK?

YIPEE! THIS IS FUN! 

PADDLE! PADDLE! PADDLE HARDER! 

I GUESS THIS IS WHY THEY CALL IT 'WHITE WATER'. 

IT'S GETTING A LITTLE ROUGH, DON'T YOU THINK? 

HEY LOOK, SOMEBODY'S SWIMMING PAST US! 

A LOST HELMET? 

UP AND DOWN AND TO AND FRO. WHERE WE END UP. KNOBODY KNOWS! 

I THINK I SEE A SMOOTHE RIDE UP AHEAD! HE! HE! 

BUT I TOOK A BATH THIS MORNING! 

HEY, SOMEBODY! GET THAT BIG ROCK OUT OF THE WAY! 

HEE, HEE, HEE, I'M SO EXCITED! 

THANKS TO DAVID AND SUSAN WHO TRIED TO BUY US A TICKET TO HEAVEN! 

STOP HANGING ON TO ME KID, IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GET WET YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME OR GONE IN THE OTHER RAFT! 

IS IT OK IF I REST MY ARM ON YOUR THIGH, JERRY? I'M GOING TO NEED ALL THE STRENGTH I CAN GET, IN JUST A FEW MINUTES! 

RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD....AND MY BACK...AND MY EVERYTHING!
