Whitewater Center

My parents came for a quick visit and we spent Saturday morning at the US National Whitewater Center. We had a great time checking out rafters, zip lines, hiking trails and climbing rocks. It was great fun and Mike and I are itching to head back with our mountain bikes. If you haven't been, its worth the visit.


This picture of everyone checking out the zip line cracks me up. Noah looks like he's saluting and Miles is sporting a pair of faux binoculars. That's my dad in the background, snapping pictures. Like father, like daughter.



It was cute to watch the boys watch the rafters and imagine them on the rapids someday. Noah was most excited when someone fell out of the raft.



We hiked down a trail and the boys had fun throwing sticks and rocks in the water. I love how the ray of light is shining down on my dad in the second picture.






Love these two pictures (courtesy of my dad). The top one looks like it could have been an old picture of my mom carrying Dana and holding my hand (if we'd been boys, of course :).




It was such a beautiful day....hard not to find punches of color everywhere.
