Snow Kayaking Adventure

This past weekend, Jeff was kind enough to spend a couple days in Denver as he passed through from the Vitters family reunion in South Dakota. For those who are unaware, Jeff is a good friend from Charlotte and one that shares the same appreciation for random, unplanned adventures.

The following videos and images are from our snow kayaking adventure in the Rockies. You may notice, we decided to bring along another friend we picked up at a local Mexican yard sale. On that day, his name was Boomer. Considering Oklahoma's devastating loss to Miami on that particular day, I am currently taking recommendations for new names. Comments welcome.

Video 1: Before every adventure day, it is required to get pumped up. I can think of no better way than a Paper Planes dance off in the car. Enjoy



Video 2: You see, sometimes when you hang out with someone long enough, you start to learn interesting things about their personality. This particular video demonstrates Jeff's ability to scream as if he was an 8-year-old girl on a roller coaster for the first time. I apologize for my zoomed in commentary.



Video 3: I thought it would be a bright idea to hand the camera over to this guy from Holland that was visiting. You will see why I made such a decision upon watching the video. You will also see that my plan completely backfired as I now have a giant welt on my shin.



One thing to keep in mind when viewing all of this is the image of two guys parking at a very popular mountain pass (Loveland Pass) in Colorado and proceed to unload a kayak (no rivers anywhere around), ropes, helmets and a giant stuffed dog. Before hiking to our sledding paradise, we were the talk of Loveland Pass and staged our adventure with an audience of nearly 50 onlookers. That's just how we roll. Game on.
