Here are a couple of pictures from a cool find Jared made while we were tubing. We think it might be a fossilized crocodile tooth or we could be imagining things. LOL But if you have any ideas let us know.

Tubing on Whitewater River - July 12, 2010
Today we drove down to New Trenton in Southern Indiana to go tubing down the Whitewater River. It took us about 1hr 45min to get there. We waited about 15 min. and then a bus picked us up to take us to our drop in.
For the most part we had the river all to ourselves and it took us about 4hrs to get back to the car (take out point was where we parked which was a big selling point for me). Every once in awhile we would stop and look at the rocks to see if we could find something fun.Jared actually found a really cool rock that actually looks like a fossilized tooth. The kids also tried to catch some of the fish that were swimming by.
The kids would get out of their tubes and swim next to us in their life jackets every once in a while.
I think their favorite parts were when we went over the 'rapids'. It was a lot of fun.....
until I hit a rock and went over and my tube started to deflate due to the hole the rock had made. Jared was my hero and came and saved me. After that the kids were a little scared and worried for me. We shared the tubes we had left and 10 minutes before we got to our destination the kids were OK with everything again! I still think it was a lot of fun even with bruised legs!
Jeff bought us a water resist digital camera so we got some pretty good pictures and no processing charges or waiting to see how they look! I like it a lot so far.
