~ Taughannock Falls ~

 Oh....ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL WATER FALL!

If you look in the picture you can see a spot with people at the bottom of the Falls... well we didn't make it there, but maybe next time!

Taughannock Falls is located in Ulysses, NY, part of the popular Finger Lakes Region of central New York. The falls is part of Taughannock State Park located between the Village of Trumansburg (part of the Ulysses Township), and the city of Ithaca. The falls cataract has an incredible drop of 215 feet (66 meters), and is one of the highest east of the Rocky Mountains.

 

 

 The sweet Lady that took our family's picture missed the Water Fall but it is a cute one of our family! Ithaca is beautiful you kind of expect these beautiful sites to be around EVERY corner.

 There is amazing trails all around and along the Falls so you can admire and take pictures the whole way!!

 The family loves going on these hikes... we need to work on our HIKING ATTIRE everyone looked @ us funny when we were in flip flops and skirts. Next time we will be better prepared!

 Pictures don't do it justice......

 it was a straight drop to the bottom...

 The kids love following the trails, but the combo of FLIP FLOPS & EXCITEMENT led to many crashes!! We managed to find every rock and up lifted root there was, so next time will wear HELMETS, KNEE PADS AND LONG SLEEVES!

 The excitement level always returned after each spill!

 The picture of the kids and I had such a pretty view of how thick and pretty the forest is! AGAIN SHALEE PLENTY OF PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES!

 AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!

KORY had the keen eyes and saw this little creature below... we took so many pictures and because he blended in so well we could barely find him in the pictures when we got home!

See the frog?

Didn't mean to build it up ... but way fun to see!
