The Flotilla of Folly is a big group rafting trip that some friends of ours have been running on the Descutes River for a few years. We were happy to be invited, and after some encouragement from veterans with kids, we decided to bring along the little guy for a serious adventure. Despite nearly constant rain and a bit of a fever for TJ, we had a blast and are excited to take him again next year when he's more aware of what's happening (and has grown into his life jacket a bit more).

TJ napped through his first class III, Buckskin Mary.

Responsible rafting starts with riding the oar raft, freeing babysitting aunts to relax and enjoy the ride.

...and a few bonus pix from around the house:

Our kitchen could use a touch of babyproofing.
Until then, he explores under close supervision.
