Why didn't anyone tell us that half of us looked like 90s action villains/goons?
There were several signs warning us not to feed the wild leprechauns that lived under the rainbow. But as my grandmother always used to say: "a sign is just a suggestion."*
* granted, she did say this before dying in a fiery automobile accident, but still.
We were all quite moved by the rainbow. Tobin rated it a two-fisted sobber.
We were all so impressed with Vernal Falls that we started a campaign to get more 'people in barrels' to travel down this majestic waterfall. If the publicity stunts work for Niagra....
Paka: This really isn't helping my bladder.
Little did we know, that unlike fountains, it is NOT good luck to throw something into/down a waterfall. Sorry Tobin.
Steve: This mountain ain't never seen nobody quite like me, yo.
Jen: A 20-something white guy? Um.
While it seems that everyone is smiling, the sad truth is that the 40 degree water mixed with facing directly into the sun had somehow triggered everyone's bladder to empty. We promised never to speak of it again, but this photo needed a caption so...
Paka and Alex marveled at how invigorating the cold clear water was. They failed to notice that Steve suddenly forgot how to swim and drowned.
With no parental guidance, the group began the unthinkable: sliding on their asses into a lake. Andy was the first to go, screaming "It burns!!!!" again and again. Yes Andy, sin does burn.
Steve didn't appreciate how the guy on the right kept yelling out scores for each slide. His hand flair warranted at least a 7.5.
When skinnydipping hour came, surprisingly few men volunteered to enter the 40 degree waters.
Christine's slide into the water was made more interesting when Andy threw sand in her eyes "for luck".
3 people had already passed Melissa while she was sliding down the slow lane.
