Vacation

The Patersons just spent a great 10 days visiting Chattanooga TN, Newark, OH, and Cincinnati, OH.

We started out in Chattanooga where we went White Water Rafting in the Ocoee River and visited the Tennessee Aquarium. We had fun both days.

We then went on to Newark, OH. William attended a baseball showcase put on at the Babe Ruth fields. One of the coaches who gave the boys a lot of advise was Coach Polk who previously coached the USA baseball team.

Lastly, we went to Cincinnati Reds game on 7/27. We stayed in KY which is just across the river from the Cincinnati baseball and football fields.

Longaberger Headquarters, Newark Oh

Visited the Longaberger headquarters in Newark, OH. Longaberger makes basket and its headquarters is made in the shape of a picnic basket. It is such a sight when you are going down Interstate 16 and see a large basket alongside the road.

The Patersons White Water Rafting

The Paterson family went white water rafting on Monday in the Ocoee River. We had a great day of fun. There was only one mishap, when Alan fell off the raft. He got trapped under another raft but they were able to take him out of the water and bring him to our raft. When we reached the calm portion Alan and William went over and swam for a few minutes. It was great for Alan to jump back in after his previous experience. As you can see, William was able to ride the front of the raft "Riding the Bull" it is called. The water was cold but refreshing. Thanks to all those who encouraged our Mum to go. We really had a good time.
