Gunderson Adventures.... where all 6 of Us live life to the fullest!

femur injury-    Sharing the best of what I and the boys and Kyle remember...the tubing rope was under my leg and the boys were going tubing... the rope pulled tight and somehow wrapped around my leg sending me into the air doing a complete 360 "summersault" in the air...
