Tubing down Deep Creek

The boys were really excited about the idea of tubing. We had seen the people tubing down deep creek last year when we hiked here and they had thought it looked really fun. 
 We had picked up some life jackets before the trip because we had planned to do this so we didn't have to worry about renting them while we were down here. We had thought about getting tubes but it was easier and cheaper at this point to just rent them.
 After we got our tubes we hiked the mile up to the drop off point. It was fun with the four tubes but we successfully made it to the drop off point. 
 We had ropes that we used to keep the boys close to either Eric or myself. And Eric ended up taking Livvy with him. There were some rocky points on the trip and the river was not as smooth as we would have liked it but we did make it safely back to the truck. I did flip out of my tube once and thankfully someone up ahead grabbed the tube for me and I was able to get back on it. 
Eric was able to Livvy to fall asleep on the ride so we let her hang out and finish her nap on the tube. Sup was a huge fan of the tubing and had a blast going over all the rocks and little rapids. He would have been going the whole day if he could have. Thomas said that he had fun but was also happy with just the morning ride. 
After we got back and dried off we got out our cooler and and had our lunch. We were all pretty hungry so we were able to eat up our lunch pretty good. After we headed back to camp.
