Joy-Anna Duggar shared beautiful new photos from a float trip. Fans say it’s pure family goals. But what started as a dreamy weekend nearly turned dangerous.
The Counting On couple smiled in a bright yellow kayak. They shared a selfie from a rushing river, surrounded by thick trees and cloudy skies.
“My fav kind of weekend 🛶☀️🌳💦,” Joy captioned the photo. “We had a lot of rain leading up to our float trip and the white water was incredible! 🤩 Also got rained on for 30 mins and had to get out of the water due to lightning nearby…”
Yes – lightning. The couple was forced off the river mid-float after storms rolled in.
“Lightning can arc for 20 miles,” one fan warned in the comments. “So being under trees is really bad.”
But the risk didn’t stop Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth from soaking up the adventure – and neither did the rain.
Counting On: Bare Feet, Muddy Memories, and One Cat-Crazed Kid
It wasn’t only the river that got people talking. The small behind-the-scenes moments also stole hearts.
Photos showed their kids with muddy toes, messy hair, and big smiles. One user gushed:
“Those little grassy feet 🥰 what good childhood memories are made of.”
Another joked:
“That little girl with her beautiful platinum curls looks like she came straight from the 18th century French monarchy.”
Fans couldn’t get enough of the unfiltered family life.
“Looks like so much fun!!!!! Loving those kiddos’ feet covered in grass! Awesome memories being made! ❤️❤️”
Others were curious about the family’s home life, asking if the kids have pets yet:
“A little cat or dog to call their own and learn to care for on a daily basis?”
Another follower chimed in with a funny update:
“Gunner is a little ruffian! Look at him playing with that black cat.”
Joy and Austin’s followers clearly feel a strong bond with their simple, outdoor lifestyle.

While Joy’s caption was short and sweet, the post sparked a flood of love and curiosity.

Another asked what many are wondering:
“What river is this and how long of a float?”
Joy’s followers seem ready to pack their own gear and follow in her footsteps — minus the lightning, of course.
Even with the danger, it’s clear this trip left a big impression.
“Glad you all got to have some fun!!”
“Sweet little couple. God bless 🇨🇦🙏”
