The Whitewater Center

Today, we took a break from unpacking to visit the US National Whitewater Center in South Charlotte. The USNWC began as a training facility for Olympic athletes and is now open to the public for a variety of activities. We didn't go rafting or even take a trip on the zip line today because Alaina didn't meet the weight/age requirements and Harry and I keep getting sick; since the temperature in Charlotte was only in the low 60s (YAY!) we decided to stay dry and just hang out with some of Harry's family. 

This was Alaina's favorite part of the whitewater center... walking up and down the stairs of a bridge over the rapids.

Alaina loved playing with her second cousin, Leah.

Here come the rafters! In the boat are Harry's cousins Russ and Matt and Rachel's mom, Marcia, (Rachel is Russ' girlfriend). You can see Charlie and Leah (Matt's children) on the bridge that Alaina loved so much. We had a great time and we really enjoyed being outside in the crisp fall weather.
