Sometimes pictures do indeed speak louder than words.

The Weatherby clan spent the day driving up to Nantahala for a little Class II/III whitewater action (the most an eight year can do in these parts).  In addition to having an URL that certain technology companies would die for, the folks at Nantahala Outdoor Center did a world class job.  Kate and Jack were a bit scared putting in, but as you can see by the smiles on their faces warmed up to the sport right quick.  And that man in the pink hat is Jesse, our guide, whom earned a nice little tip was his tales (some tall, some not, all seeming to be the former).

After the two hour trip we adjourned to Pirate Pizza on the river for dinner.  BYOB, a fire, and hatchet throwing made for a great dinner spot.  Jack was the family champion thrower, building up to being able to toss it into a cut stump and making it stick over 50% of the time.

What a great day!
