kids and my husband and I, and the rafting was a blast. Our raft trip was at 9:15am on 7/21

(Thursday), I think trip#15 and "Big John" (sorry, that's all I know of his name) was our trip

guide. I would like to say a few things about John. I was glad when he said he was going to be

our guide because I had 4 children with us, 2 eleven year olds and 2 fourteen year olds. John

may remember Heidi and Hannah (twins), Heather and Elizabeth (14) and Robin and Dave

(Mom & Dad). After watching our video I think John picked our group to guide since Heidi

and Hannah were the youngest. I now appreciate that very much. John was sure everyone

thanked our bus drivers and other guides and vidiot, but I want to make sure John knows how

thankful and grateful we are to him for what he does. After watching our video, I realized all of

the "behind the scenes" work that he did. I saw him at one point while we were going

through a rapid reach over and pull one of my twins back in as she was falling out. That means so

much to me, thank you John. Maybe it's being a mother, but after watching the video and seeing

those rapids I worried that I enjoyed myself, sitting up near the front, while my young daughters

were in the back, in front of John, and that I should have sat next to them. I think John took care

of them for me and I really respect him and thank him for that. He really knows what's going

on out there on the river and I appreciate that so much!

I know I'm going on and on, but after watching our video 10x, you really see alot that you would

never have known. Please let John know there's a family in Cincinnati, Ohio that thinks he's

awsome and I hope ACE appreciates his knowledge and experience like we do!

Thanks!

Robin and Dave R.
