Monday Evening Fun!

 Letting out alittle pent up ENERGY, its amazing how a ball in the shirt can spark the imagination of three kids! They would run into each other and would just roll around laughing!
We then decided to head out on an adventure after an early evening FHE to Treman State Park. This was a quick and easy hike but we didn't even touch all the options that are offered so we will RETURN! And can't wait to take any and all that come to visit ; ).
 Pictures can't explain the smell, or describe the drizzle rain that comes off the splash of the water hitting the rocks, it is just truly beautiful!

 The happy couple.
 Maddilyn @ a platform a little higher up.
 The family,
 The bridge we GOT  to cross to get to the other side!
Kory was cool with it, Kael and I, not so much!
 but we followed them!
 And when you got to the other side and looked up this is what you saw, it looked like the trees had grown out the side of the mountain. And with it flooding and the ground muddy and moist I WASN'T certain the trees weren't going to on top of us.
 Then we climbed up and over the water fall, the kids loved the steps and we loved that it wore them out!
 On our travels KORY ONCE AGAIN found a friend with nature! How he see's these things is amazing. The COLOR of this little guy SCREAMED poisonous to me!

 Another find, yellow mushroom, but from the word @ Winston court there are other strange things found on trails around Ithaca!
 Kory ALSO spotted this crazy beehive hanging from a twig, bees were swarming all around it!
 After our hike we ran to the toys, and again we were NOT disappointed!
 MOM & DAD even got in on the fun, toys now a days are a whole lot different then when I was a kid! 
This spinning toy would take YOUR weight and spin you SOOO fast!
 We got video but I am way to embarrassed to post it, I am officially OLD, I felt so sick after just ONE turn!
We continue to be amazed at the beauty of Ithaca!
Kory is doing great, this week he is dealing with a lot of heavy recruiting, and hopefully he will get an idea where he would like to intern next summer : )...
We have been so lucky to have loving family and friends that have supported (& still do) and loved us through this amazing journey! It has been crazy @ times but over all it feels like a vacation, we get to move and meet new amazing people see these beautiful places and make great memories. All that is missing is FAMILY & FRIENDS, we couldn't do it without you and we can't wait to see you again!
...love you all...
