I'm going to s-t-r-e-t-c-h the meaning of this week's theme! We went camping this past weekend and had a wonderful time exploring the waterfalls of northwest New York. It was wonderful to see my children blossom and flower while they were discovering the fruits of mother nature.
Niagra Falls - we really enjoyed the Maid of the Mist boat ride to the falls - a must do if you ever visit the area!
Letchworth State Park in Castile, NY is simply gorgeous - as gorgeous as any flower I've ever seen! These middle falls are lit up at night and quite a sight to see.
The short walk to these Wolf Creek Falls at Letchworth is definately worth the time.
Another must see at Letchworth is the amazing gorge that runs through the park. It was awesome to watch my kiddies go on this hike and NOT complain - even as their little legs hiked on the trail and up the steep 127 steps! That just makes me *flower* with happiness!
Ok, done with the far stretch on the "flower" theme! :-)
Parents, if you want wonderful pictures of your children, never teach them to say "cheese"! Please learn from my mistake or you will have thousands of photos just like mine - squinted eyes, scrunched up noses, clenched teeth, and an image that just screams "say cheez!!!". Join me while I search for that one perfect shot that doesn't conjure up images of dairy products. Oh, and unless you like that *messy* look, you'll probably want to clean their faces before you snap away. I never seem to remember myself.
An imporant sidenote is to make sure you document your life! Recording the little details of the who, what, where, when, & why makes for wonderful stories and captures your life for years to come. Because if you are like me, you'll forget it all 5 minutes later!
