The greater Wray family of the greater Charlotte area decided to spend what is probably (hopefully) one of the last very hot days of the season at the U.S. Whitewater Center yesterday. While it was a little hot and steamy for spectators, the rafters (Pete, James, Dad, Dan, Amy-K, Katie, and Graham) all had a lot of fun. There were a few occasions where someone fell out of the boat, but I guess that's just what makes it interesting (or terrifying, depending on your perspective). (And I just want to say that I am very glad they make everyone wear helmets. Back when I was a camp counselor and we had to take KIDS down a very dangerous, swirling river for hours, during which time most or all of us would get pitched out of the boats and end up pinned under it on rocks, etc., no one wore helmets! And, yes, I'm still upset about it!)
The kids, meanwhile, had fun playing on some rock-climbing rocks, and afterwards we all enjoyed a picnic dinner-- and Karin's awesome carrot cake (celebrating Dan and Amy's birthdays). A very fun Sunday afternoon!
