شاید باورتون نشه ولی اون آقایی که ته قایق نشسته و معلومه که خیلی هم داره از خودش مایه می‌ذاره و داد می‌زنه که قوی‌تر پارو بزنین...خودش یه شرکت مهندسی تو استرالیا داره و زمستونای استرالیا که میشه تابستون کانادا، میاد اینجا و «رفتینگ» که کار مورد علاقه‌اشه انجام می‌ده!
.
وسط‌‌های مسیر یه جا نگه داش، گف بریم بالای تپه و هر کی می‌خواد سوزنی بپره تو آب...واسه منی که شنا در حد آب‌بازی بلدم و تازه ترس از ارتفاع هم دارم! واقعا پیشنهاد وحشتناکی بود!
.
ولی خب هی گفتم ملیحه یه فرصت به خودت بده، این‌همه آدم اینجان...نمی‌میری که نجاتت می‌دَن بالاخره😂 یعنی سه بار طرف از یک تا سه شمرد تا من آخر اونم با چشم‌های بسته پریدم (عکس دوم) 😅 تا پریدم چون نمی‌تونستم شنا کنم، طناب انداخت سمتم که بگیرم و بیام بالا...بعد من از شدت استرس و ترس و هیجان، غش‌غش می‌خندیدم اونام هی دادمی‌زدن نفس بکش نفس بکش، از کنار بیا از کنار بیا...😂 حالا اومدم بیرون بهشون توضیح می‌دم من شوخی نگرفته بودم قضیه رو هاا...هواسم به طناب بود ولی وقتی هیجانم زیاده و استرسی می‌شم خنده‌ام می‌گیره😰
.
ولی بهتون بگم خدایی اگه نمی‌پریدم کل لذت اون روز رو از دست داده بودم😐 رمز موفقیتم هم جمله معروف: یا الان یا هیچ‌وقت بود😅
.
حالا فک کن تو قایق که بودیم و داشتیم پارو می‌زدیم، مهدی جلو نشسته بود، بعد یهو برگشتم دیدم نیس، افتاده بود تو آب😐 بعد همون آقاهه یه جوری مهدی رو کشید بالا که انگار دو کیلو وزنشه...توان‌بدنی این چنینم آرزوست...😆
.
.
عکس سوم هم نمای دورتره که البته لوکیشن سریال The revenant هم بوده! ( دیدینش؟)

I’m back from vacation, we did so much and had so much fun. I’ll be honest, I have been feeling a lot better these last few months. The things I was able to do over the last two weeks were not as hard as they once were! I’ve really nailed down some healthy habits/patterns.
.
These pictures are @ just outside Banff, Canada. They are symbolic of an adventure that we went on. But, also, they show a funny rendition of a life fact. When you are down, you will get back up again.
.
I figure it’s also important to share a few of my habits/ devices that have helped me so very much. I owe a lot to my physiotherapist here in St. John’s, NL. I’ll make a post this week with a list of the things I’m doing, that help me.

The weather is starting to warm up but the water definitely isn't 😁 Managed not to fall out of the raft but then decided to willingly hurl myself off a cliff into the 4°c 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!!👌😂❤

Have you ever gone rafting before? We went for the first time in #Banff and I can’t believe we waited so long to do it! We had an absolute blast and the kids did too! Our guide at chinookrafting was awesome and helped us create memories we’re not likely to forget anytime soon. - ✅ - 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Look familiar? The stunning Horseshoe Canyon section of the Bow River is where The Revenant was filmed - and you can go whitewater rafting through these shale cliffs with @chinookrafting.
One of our guides captured this great shot from a helicopter - and he could see the rafts coming through the bend!
