We were vacationing in Utah. It was super hot so we decided to wade in the colorado river. Unfortunately I couldn't see that the river bank was a cliff not a slope. I slipped and fell into the river while holding my 3 year old. A friend was right there and asked if I was okay. I said yes and then realized I had nothing to stand up on. I am a strong swimmer so I was able to pass my 3 year old to my friend, while I thought I was going down river. Once my daughter was safe my friend threw a dog leash in. I grabbed it and he pulled me out. It was extremely traumatic for me at the time, but now it's just a story we talk about.
