A Family United

This is a little lesson on why it is important to be united as a family. On the 24th of July my family floated down the Provo River. We had a great time. We laughed until our sides hurt. Parts of the river were very calm, while other parts were very crazy. At times the current would pull us into a bank of trees and other debris, and we would have to fight our way back to the middle of the river.



We decided that it was important to keep our tubes connected in a circle. This made the trip down the river even more exciting. When the current would sweep us into the trees our tubes would just bounce off and we would continue our journey down the river.



We were having the time of our lives until.....



Kierstan was separated from the family.....somehow the connection was broken and we all floated away leaving her behind. We were going a lot faster than she was, so there came a time when we couldn't see her. During that time she was dumped off her tube and a raft and tube fell on her, pushing her underwater. Finally she was able to get free and come up for air. By the time she caught up to the family she was shoeless and bloody. She had bruises on the bottom of her feet that were the size of Texas. The lesson we learned was....



No matter what happens in your river of life it will all be much easier if you are are closely tied with your family. So the moral of the story is.... Be nice to your families because....Families are Forever!!! Pinkies High
