Today was a good day.  Early last year i was very interested in New York’s waterfalls.  I made a list of all the local ones in the area and when Rob was on his crappy shifts the girls and i would go out exploring them for something to do.  This place is about an hour from home but the pics online showed an absolute amazing waterfall that was fairly easy to get to.  So spring time last year the girls and i headed out to go see the 75ft waterfall and we were definitely not disappointed.

Well today when we got up and going i thought it would be a great day to take Rob to go see the beautiful waterfall and go hiking along the trails with the dogs.  It was a gorgeous day and come Saturday night/early Sunday is when the dang Hurricane is suppose to hit, so what better time to get out than this.

I dont think Rob was disappointed at all.  It was a beautiful site with very nice trails to go along and a Lake that you can fish at. Overall another one for the books!!!

We recently went to this state park in New York and it was amazing! Unfortunately we did not have a lot of time to see all that it had to offer. We went down the Indian ladder trail which is where these photos were taken. After a short walk, we decided to do a few geocaches and then head back to the house as it was near sunset. We will most definitely be going back for a camping excursion!

These pictures were in addition to the ones that we took while we were on vacation in PA. These photographs were taken by Amy O’banion. Once again I have to admit that this was one of the most enjoyable trips that we have made and hopefully there will be more to come. I am hoping that we will be able to go on many more family adventures while we are living here in NY. I am still a proud Texan by heart, but I have to admit that the scenery here in NY and PA is amazing!

We went to the Alleghaney Mountains for the forth of july with the whole family and some friends. I was so happy to be going here as this was a place i visited as a child. This was one of those “We will go to before we move” places. I called my mother and found the name of one of the places we went when I was younger, “Thunder Rocks.” Of course I wanted my family to experience this place in all of its glory. So we headed out with our friends, about an hour drive from our campsites.

First stop was Thunder Rocks. As we walked up, the first instinct of everyone was I want to climb that rock! Well I am using the word “rock” loosely as it was more of a small mountain. So I climbed and helped the children climb as many of the large rocks as we could. Leaving the wives in our shadows with the puppies. Ashley even climbed one of the rocks… the country girl is still in her. So we headed on our way to snag a few of the Geocaches while we were there.

Next we went to the stone tower. I have to admit that i was very dissappointed when we walked up as we saw all of the graffiti that people have left over the years. But none the less standing on top of this mini castle you could see for miles around. What a view.

The last stop was to sceneic overlook. Well the overlook was a little overgrown, but we stood on top of our vehicles and once again looked at as far as the eye could see.

I am so happy to have had the opportunity to share this experience with my family and friends.
