<\/p>\nOur “brother from a different mother” just celebrated his 40-something birthday. \u00a0He spent it rafting on the American River, surrounded by his closest friends. \u00a0It was a beautiful and fun day!<\/p>\n
The boys were able to invite a friend. \u00a0They were so excited to get on the river.
\n<\/p>\n
Awesome river rats! Josh, Q, Eric, Mike, and Jared Birthday boy, living the life… Post raft BBQ. \u00a0Keepers of the flame…Shawn and Eric.

\nShawn (in the water) found $5 that was at the bottom of the river. \u00a0The river was shallow and super-shallow in parts…

\nI love this picture! \u00a0Mama Shirley is not much of a water person. \u00a0She chose to wear this child’s life jacket in the bright orange color, instead of the adult jacket in a faded orange. \u00a0She felt the bright orange complemented her outfit better.

\nNorCal beauties, Crystal, Josh, and Lindsay!

\nShawn, resting after a hard day. \u00a0He neglected to re-applysunscreen and got burnt to a crisp. \u00a0Hard lesson learned, but totally worth it.
