彭比纳河（Pembina River）发源于落基山脚下，一路蜿蜒向东，途经多个自然保护区，最终汇入阿萨巴斯卡河。

周六，由十多个家庭组成的华人大团体，浩浩荡荡地奔赴彭比纳河省立公园（Pembina River Provincial Park），开始我们的奇幻漂流。



第一次全家出动，参加漂流，老公特意买了艘大橡皮船，可以载重四个成人，负重800磅。
早上8点集合，开车1个小时左右，就到达了。数了数，参团的家庭一共出动了16台车，一起在路上排队前行的阵势，堪比婚庆现场。

我们三家组成一个小组，先开两车到上游，留下一车在原地。然后从上游一路坐船飘流到出发地，耗时将近一个小时。最后三个司机又乘坐原地的第三辆车，到上游把另外两辆车接回来。司机取车的时候，我们草地野餐会就拉开帷幕，大家分工明确，有的家带新鲜果蔬，有的家带秘制卤肉，有的家带自制面包，不远处还有个儿童乐园，孩子们吃完就开始玩水的玩水，玩滑梯的玩玩滑梯, 大人们则三五成群的聊天，好不热闹。

那飘流的河水并不深，水流忽急忽缓，有时落差很大，泛起无数水花，从船头直接进来，裤子都打湿了。
河底鹅卵石成堆。一次搁浅了，老公直接下河去推的。

在船上，儿子们且吃且游逍遥自在，老公划船，我的任务是负责孩子们吃喝，同时看住格外活泼的小宝，防止意外落水。所以还没怎么腾出时间拍照。仅有的照片和视频分享在这里。


刚买的船，打气时听见漏气声，原来是盖子没拧紧，虚惊一场


气还没打完，儿子们争先上船


船长说：往那里开吧


都在充气中




朋友的船


这家儿子大了，船小了



儿子们船上吃开了，一个在吃意大利餐，一个在吃泰国餐，罐头食品，方便出行


吃得眉开眼笑


漂流中


早上天气多云，很舒服凉爽


朋友快乐的一家三口


三口之家


远远地另一艘


两家船连在一起了


梦梦总抢着用桨划船，还企图通过跳跃，达到翻身下船的目的，把妈妈紧张得——表情严肃起来。
后来干脆把他的救生衣带和船舷的绳子连起来了，这下跑不了了。


仔细看，中间密密麻麻的，是一群鸟的栖息地


大家看到那么多鸟，也纷纷拍照


上岸了，小弟一左一右两个大哥护法


梦梦一下午，都耗在这个游乐场里了。


旁边还坐一保镖，不时地夸奖他：good job. 梦太有人缘了




太阳一出来，天气顿时热起来，梦梦脱了又脱


要回家了，洋洋恋恋不舍的样子。

回家洋洋写了篇中英文日记，英文原文贴在这里，虽有小错，也弥足珍贵，留念。
Yesterday I went rafting and it was very fun.There was also very much rocks which will make very much waves.It was also fun because we floated on water and we could also sleep in the boat but we didn't because we were not tired.There was also chairs in the boat so it will be very fun!The chairs in the boat can also be used as pillows and that will make it very comfortable.We also eat in the boat when we were hungry and we also can see the huge waves and when a very big wave is coming,Then we will hide in the boat,but one wave was so big that it flooded the boat and then we had to clean up that big mess.Also had to be aware of the rocks because it can wreck our boat but not always and we could not be aware of all of the rocks.Once,we had our boat scraped on one of the rocks very fast but the boat did not get wrecked and another time ,our boat got stuck on one of the rocks and my dad had to pull the boat out of the the rock and it still did not get wrecked.We went rafting for two hours and then we found a beach so we went there for our lunch and there was also a park where we could play.We went there to play and eat lunch,then,we went all the way back to Edmonton .
