Rope Swing Kaboomin

Went kayaking today with my hall of freshmen (I'm an RA) and feeling sor sorrr dead and sore right about now.  The river was way shallow. Translation: lots o getting shipwrecked, tryna scoot the rest of the way, and, finally, surrendering to the mighty low-tide of the Middle Oconee River by walking the kayak to deeper, more promising waters.

Also, shallow waters meant NO rope swing :(  a.k.a. no swinging, trapezing, free-falling, or splash kaboomin.

It turned out alright though because we still went on the rope, there was just no rope-to-water action. Instead we swung out, ran on the water, and tumbled back onto dry land. #crouchingtigerhiddendragon. At first, the prospect of swinging on a rope with no icy cold-water destination seemed pointless but once Romik went for it I had to Yes And him and so glad I did.

All-in-all, pretty solid nature immersing, paddle slappin, sketch limo riding (the vehicle to the kayak deployment site) day.

Also, and this is a huge also, Boardwalk Empire Season 2 premiered tonight. My Sundays just got a whole lot saucier.
