"Doers"

Joel frequently complains that we don't "do" enough stuff - "we're not doers," he says. "We need to become doers." Certainly we have our share of excuses as to why we never seem to do anything -- chief among them over the past year has been the fact that Joel has had to work every third weekend, and the fact that we did after all have a baby just about a year ago. But now that the weather's not too hot any more and Becca's a little bit older and Joel's down to working every fourth weekend, we've decided that on the weekends he's not working we need to be planning excursions.

So today was the first one on the list - the U.S. National Whitewater Center. Granted, this would have been a lot better without two kids in tow (three actually since we met our friends Javier and Crisi and their baby Alejandro there). We might have been able to, you know, "do" something while we were there, like whitewater rafting, rock climbing, etc. We settled for watching other people do those things, and we walked around and did a small amount of hiking (very small) and ate lunch. That's a start, right...?

Here are some pictures. In retrospect showering might have been a good idea this morning. Oh well.
