NZ: Shotover River

September 3, 2009 by Kristin Leave a Comment

Greg and I are on that boat while Cate was hanging out
with Grandmom, Cassie and Zac, who rode first.


Queenstown is all about adventure. So, after bungy jumping, we rode in a jet boat. I mean, seriously, a jet boat, the name itself is intriguing enough, especially for someone like me who loves being on the water.

Basically, it’s like an over-sized jet ski that has seats for 14 people, including a professional driver. The boat goes fast [I believe our driver said we were reaching 70 kph, which is like 45 mph.] on top of shallow water and can make quick 360-degree turns while riding close to rocks in the river canyon.

Like a roller coaster on water, the ride was fun. Plus the scenery was beautiful.

Cate looks like she’s trying to ask Zac what they’re doing. I’m pretty sure he’s thinking, just smile, Cassie thought this was a good idea. And I’m glad she encouraged this because it cracks me up!

About Me

Telling stories is my therapy and love sharing with friends on my porch.

The main characters in my stories are my entrepreneur husband, our fifth-grade girl who never forgets, our have-no-fear second-grade boy, and our joy-filled toddler girl. As we live out our stories, we seek God as the author of them all.
