Scenes from Allegany State Park

We spent 5 days (ish) at Allegany State Park in a cabin at the beginning of August; I didn’t take many pictures (most are of moss, as it turns out). Here’s what I do have.

  • Twins, man.
  • Henry’s missing two top teeth, so he can make two buck teeth, and he’s very pleased by that.
  • The boys playing nicely.
  • Took Ele fishing.
  • An island in the lake.
  • It was really kind of a haunted day.
  • Climbing Thunder Rocks.
  • My three active climbers.
  • The rocks are big rocks.
  • A tree trunk is growing out of the middle of this rock.
  • peek-a-boo!
  • The moss was super interesting.
  • Lots of colors for one rock.
  • Lil’ climber.
  • Big kids, bigger rock.
  • He got up and he got down.
  • The moss.
  • Super interesting.
  • The rocks were worn down by glaciers and flowing water.
  • Grant in a tree.

11 years!

In the midst of a pandemic, today we celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary. We are celebrating by going camping at Allegany State Park (obviously with the kids). We don’t usually celebrate our anniversary with the kids, so this is a change from the norm (as is everything in 2020).

The kids surprised us this morning… By showing us the live bird one of the cats brought into the house. Memories!

There’s no one I’d rather share this absolute three Ring circus with.

Selfishpression

Here’s a new COVID era term: selfishpression. When someone uses the excuse of self-expression to be selfish. Example: “I didn’t wear a mask because I’m just so ready for COVID to be over, and I want my summer back.”

You know it when you see it.
