Shooting the Tube and floating the Provo River

I love Utah in the summer! There are always so many things to do! I took Crystal to "shoot the tube." In short "shooting the tube" includes walking up a small creek in a huge aluminum tube that directs the creek to run under the freeway. You damn the water at one end and when the water is deep enough and there is enough pressure it causes you to shoot out the other end into a small pool of water. It is like a man made water slide. Describing it does not do it much justice, but it is amazing!
We also purchased one of these...(car tire inner-tube)
and floated down this....(Provo river)
The river is FREEZING cold! A lot of the adventure when you float the river has to do with how fast the water is running. It is running fairly fast right now. It was so much fun and I think Crystal and her friends enjoyed it! Utah Summers are the BEST!!!
