Water started pouring into the front of the raft. I was stuck on my back and couldn't help my husband get the raft unstuck. We had our kids with us but they were further back in the raft. I remember thinking, "This is how people die floating down the river." We had floated it 20+ times before and never had a problem. He was finally able to get it unstuck and the front of the raft bobbed up and I was able to get out of the bottom of the raft. But it was a pretty scary few minutes I won't forget.

Oh my goodness, I'm scared just reading this!! How frightening to be helpless and to have your kids with you!! I'm sure you thought "this is it". You were very luck to have gotten unstuck!!
