Slacker

Yes, I have been stinking at blogging lately. I couldn't handle the pressure of being the sole blogger in the family! Thank you LP for returning to the blogging world as our main blogging entertainment! I have missed you and could not pick up the slack!

Now, I know I never blogged about camping, so let me hit some of the major highlights for you.

We camped right at Watkins Glen State Park, our site was huge and fabulous! The gorge trail was right there, and we were able to walk a little bit of it... which was beautiful!! Definitely something everyone needs to see!

One day we were able to drive to Ithaca to Buttermilk Falls State Park! They had a huge waterfall that we were able to swim in! Here's a picture of me jumping off the diving board, plugging my nose of course. I'm such a wussy!



On our way home we passed a school that had a HUGE slip-n-slide set up for a bunch of little kids. We did a full U-turn and asked if we could go! Just once they told us! It was suuuuper fun and FAST!



Saturday we spent the day at the Finger Lakes Wine Festival!! We didn't even know it was going on the same weekend! When you arrive, they give you a free wine glass, and you walk around sipping and tasting all the wines! The coolest part was the Sheriff's booth, where you try the Breathalyzer!!! The festival was right at the race track, so we were even able to get rides around the track in the pace car going over 100! The Festival was very responsible and all DD's only paid 1/2 price and were all breathalyzed on the way out!



The other event worth mentioning is my break down :o( that ended in lots of FUN!!! Coming out of the State Park on our last day, I was leaking brake fluid too bad to continue our trek home. Uncle John came to the rescue right away to scope up my truck to his mechanic. In the meantime, Aunt Janny, Uncle John, Stacey & Nathan and myself were able to visit a few wineries and spend some much needed time together!! I was very happy for the unplanned visit!! Our family is truly one of outstanding measure. And never have I felt so loved as when they took me in and helped me out. Thank you both so much!
