A Day at Rickett's Glenn

All I have to say is, if you haven't been to Rickett's Glenn lately.... you need to go! We had so much fun. This past Saturday we took a trip with some friends from church and had a picnic at the beach area of Rickett's Glenn. After we were done eating, Darla and I went on the paddleboats. And by the way, I had to paddle most of the time..... Darla whimped out for some of time. Anyways, after our fun we decided to let Sydney play in the water at the beach. She had a blast!!! She loves water as it is, but then to be able to walk up and down the beach in the water was just amazing to her. Darla eventually had to take her out of the water because she was getting too cold. It didn't bother Sydney, though. She would have stayed all day long! While Mommy and Sydney were playing in the water, I decided to go for a hike on the Falls Trail. It has been so long since I've been on those trails, and I had forgotten how beautiful the falls are. It is so awesome how big some of these waterfalls were! The biggest waterfall was over 90 feet tall!!! Grant it, this is not Niagra, but still.... for central Pennsylvaia this is pretty awesome! You really need to go visit Rickett's Glenn, but be prepared..... the hike back up the mountain is a killer. I had to stop a few times to catch my breath. In fact, the one area was named Ozone... kind of ironic since that was where I was struggling for air. Here's a picture of one of the "small" waterfalls. I think it was only 30 or 40 feet high!

Narcolepsy??

So this is going to sound stupid, but ever since Sydney has been able to walk around I think she has developed narcolepsy! I know.... I know.... She isn't narcoleptic, but seriously.... this child can fall asleep at the drop of a hat and in the most peculiar places and positions. In the first picture, I was in the living room picking up her toys and heard Sydney playing with her refridgerator toys. After about 2 minutes I didn't hear her making any noise. You know what that means..... she's in something she's not suppose to be. So I walked out to the kitchen and find Sydney sprawled out on the floor sound asleep. Enjoy the pictures of Sydney "passing out"!
