-Kananaskis River Rafting- For me, the River Rafting was the best experience of the whole Banff trip, because I don't know how to swim, and I vouched to sit right in the front, when they asked. It was a truely awesome feeling, being right in the face of the wild and cold water!

ЗНАКОМЬТЕСЬ, Я и МОЁ МУЖСКОЕ ТРИО 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 ⠀ Вчера ночью получили фотографии с нашего экстрима. Вот такие мы смелые ребята за 5 минут до рафтинга. Я подчёркиваю ДО РАФТИНГА!!!🙈 ⠀ И раз уж мы все вместе, это хороший повод познакомить с каждым: ⠀ Антон: Хозяин! Весь семейный финансовый учёт держится исключительно на нём, не смотря на то, что Худо бедно учился в школе. Харизматичный и очень Холёный мужчина, умеет Хватать удачу за Хвост😉 ⠀ Максим: Хорошо сложён, точно знает чего от жизни Хочет, защитник всех малоХольных: муХи не обидит (в прямом смысле поймает и выпустит её за дверь), знает как паХнет пороХ в пороХовницах💥 ⠀ Алексей: Совсем ешё малюсенький Хлопчик, но сладкий и с очень Хорошим аппетитом. Немножко "Хулиган", согласно возрасту, чего мы все ему прощаем за доброе Храброе сердце и Характер с душой❤ ⠀ Оксана: Хорошенькая, Хрупкая особа. Живёт по принципу "Хочу и Хрен знает как желаемое сделать". Прекрасно научилась, когда надо, Хлопать ресницами и взлетать. Не дружит с Химией со школьных лет. Холодна к мясу и саХару. ⠀ Ну, и последнее, что нас объединяет: Мы все, наХоХлившись от *Холода*🤪 в Канаде Вам дружно шлём Хорошие приветы! ⠀ Эстафету приняли от ivolgaalisa и отработали "Х" по полной всей семьёй 🙌 ⠀ Ну, Хто тут из нас получился самый Хот?🔥 ⠀ Хотите поучаствовать во флешмобе, ставьте ссылку на меня и пишите "Хочу букву"! ⠀ А Вы как бы охарактеризовали себя на букву "Х"??? Уверена, сейчас все будут ХОРОШИМИ!!👌😂❤ ⠀ #флешмоб7фактовобомне
