Camp Life
Camping for three days is a first for our kids, and oh my they loved it!!! Long hikes, campfire cooking, hammocks, and belly laughs for hours. We decided to ease them into it by renting a rustic cabin instead of a tent which was perfect. I don’t know what it is but bunk beds make kids happy. Freedom makes them even more happy and they had the campground to themselves to wander. There were long games of Harry Potter (lots of wands hidden in the woods) and many trips to the bathroom. Matt and I enjoyed moments of silence around camp as the wild ones wandered and all was great!
The Gorge
This place…WOW! Its almost as if you landed on another planet. Suddenly, and it happens fast, you look around and are surrounded by the tallest swirling walls of rock and looking ahead this is all you see. On a short hike you can view 19 waterfalls which all are spectacular in their own way. Get ready for lots of stairs, some steep edges and cool splashes from the falls. The kids loved walking under the waterfalls and finding small plants, mushrooms, and a frog along the way. For the adults this natural sculpture water has carved throughout time is incredible and the moderate hike is great for a family adventure.
Day Trip – Cornell
When Cornell is so close why not check it out. So we ventured on our 1st college tour, and now at least two of our kids want to go to school here, which is great motivation for homeschooling! haha It is a beautiful campus, with a George in the middle, and a suspension bridge, what?!? So if you study hard enough to get into Cornell wow you deserve such a beautiful place to attend college.
