Drum Roll Please...

Well, we've finally come up with a worthy rafting name for the little guy...Hyside. I would like to thank you all for your suggestions, very good, all of them. As an explanation, Hyside (the company) makes a wonderful line of hypalon rafts. As K said yesterday, "There's a lot of hypalon on the river today." I laughed. You probably didn't. Also, as you may be able to see from the photos of us rafting yesterday, high-siding is a necessary skill that boaters should possess when running water that's flowing faster than the water coming out of the bathroom faucet. It involves sliding, or often, diving, to the high side of the boat, (ie the part that's not under water) when flipping is a possibility. If you're lucky, in the process, as I found out a few years ago, it's a dangerous process as you may get your teeth kicked in by people who don't do it properly and fly out of the boat. Perhaps I'll elaborate on that later.

And back to what I was saying...a rafting term was necessary for the little guy because he has webbed feet and apparently loves the water. (At least the water in his water bowl! We'll find out how both of them handle large bodies of water soon enough...) He enjoys paddling through a good percentage of each bowl of water, creating a slip-and-slide in the kitchen. It's wonderful really. Welp, that's pretty much it for now. Oh yeah, rafting was AMAZING yesterday and I can't wait to go again!

Here's a little video of the kids wrastlin' and becoming bestest buddies! Hyside, tries to nurse from Kona, so that's a little awkward. I guess it's cuz her tummy is still shaved from her spay. It doesn't have any special effects or anything, but enjoy!
