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!

WOW the last four blog entries are wonderful. First let me say, Sydney is really growing up and becoming very independent! Adorable daughter at your house ~ what a joy! Your "Day at Rickett's Glenn" not only fun, but awesome pictures! Sydney must truly just play so hard she is exhausted and can sleep anywhere she feels like it LOL! Wish that would work for me, hey Jeremy watch me at my desk, but please don't wake me!!
