Floating the Current

Current River in Missouri is just a hop-skip-and-a-jump from our place in Southern Illinois and is the single, undeniable relaxing place of wonder and kinship. It is the favorite thing that we did together as a family with various friends, but it was always Wen & Chris that spearheaded the trip every year. These are photos from various July trips down Current River.
