In late July, my in-laws, Lee and Cara, took James and Katie with their family to Fayetteville, WV for a week of fun at Adventures on the Gorge. Tuesday night that week Rachel came down after a workshop in Findlay, OH. Then on Wednesday, I managed to get a few days off from work to join the family.
The kids and my in-laws got to do some white water rafting on Monday, along with some tree-top courses. On Wednesday I got to tag along for a walk across the cat walk under the New River bridge! We also got a day of boating, cliff diving, and rock climbing at Summersville Lake. We also did some hiking to see water falls, creeks, and old mining towns. Rachel, James, and I took a tour in the exhibition mine of Beckley, WV.

The family is ready for the bridge walk to begin!
Our guide shows us what we’ll be walking under…

Everyone clipped on?
Hey, why is the bridge shaking?
