We took a break from gardening today... Dad wanted to do a family trip- it was kinda spur of the moment and he still hasn't said why.
Whatever his reason for doing it though, I'm glad he did. It felt really great to have the whole family together. Would've felt better if they'd put in some work on the garden, but hey you take what you can get.
He brought us to a place called Stony Brook Park, in upstate NY.
Let me just tell you, it was awesome! Here's the pics:
 |
| Such a cool rapid! We kinda climbed up the smaller waterfalls instead of sticking to the trails.... Don't tell anybody. |
 |
| There were other families there. They told us we might get in trouble for walking in the stream bed, but we lucked out. Park rangers never saw us. |
 |
| "THE CLIFFS OF INSANITY!" |
 |
| Love the ferns growing at the base of the cliff. Felt like the kinda place dinosaurs would've liked to chill. |
 |
| Bit of a head trip, looking up from the bottom |
 |
| I don't know what this is, but it looks cool. Bro said it looked like a bridge support, Dad said he could be right. |
 |
| Another old bridge support? |
 |
| And best for (almost) last: Flowers and waterfalls. |
If you ever get a chance to go to Stony Brook Park, don't pass it up! Awesome hike, beautiful falls... They even have a swimming area in the river (I really wish I got a picture of that, its super cool).
Lastly, a bonus picture... not of Stony Brook, just a hilarious road sign we saw as we were driving back.

| POKAMOONSHINE ROAD... A real street name |
Anyhow, I hope all my readers are doing well. How was your Saturday? Probably not as good as mine, but I hope it was close!
