Vacation, part 3

Unfortunately, there were very few good weather days on our trip. It rained almost every day, and the temperature barely went over 70. So when the rain stopped, we seized the opportunity to get outdoors and visit the neighboring state park. And this Boulder Field was one of the cool things we saw there...

The obligatory let-me-take-our-picture-portrait. My arms aren't long enough to get an appropriate shot.


You can get a better view of the Boulder Field in this one.


Leah just didn't know what to do with all those clothes on.

The trail we decided to hike happened to go to a swingset, so naturally we had to go for a little swing-skie. And naturally, she's way too small for it.

A few days later we went back to the park. It was much warmer, and we took a much longer hike (about 5 miles). Leah was awesome, and rode shoulders and hips the entire time without complaint. She's such an outdoorsy little girl already.
Here we are at the scenic overlook to Lehigh Gorge. Quite pretty.

A family photo. :)

Sadly, the trip ended on an unfortunate note for us-- many hours of airport delays that got us home at 2 am. Despite our travel troubles, we're looking forward to visiting everyone again! (Especially if it means getting away from this awful heat!)
