During our time in Stanley, Idaho, one of my favorite things we did was float down the Salmon River. My mom and dad were both on stand up paddle boards. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t actually enjoy the floating part. Mom is on one board, dad is on another board, and I can only be on one of their boards. And sometimes they get really far apart and it really stresses me out that I can’t be with both of them at the same time. Everything else about it is pretty fun though. I get to go swimming and run around in new places.
My puppy cousin Bella joined us on this float. It was her first time ever floating down a river! She had fun, but got cold because she doesn’t have a lot of fur like me. Lucky for her, there was a hot spring right on the side of the river. We stopped and spent some time there so everyone could soak in the hot springs water. It warmed Bella right up. I decided to take a nap on one of the SUPs instead of join because I get hot way too easily!
