Something Exciting

So not much exciting happens here, not much to do around here since we live in “nowhere next to nothing”, so once in a while we have to break out and go do something more fun than play in the backyard or at the valley play land.  And when we do break away I just have to blog about it:

Ithaca, NY was on the “to go” list for a while but we waited for some warm weather and Ethan not having school and today was the day! YAHOOOO!!!! Ithaca has a pretty nice kid’s museum “Sciencenter” so we headed there first , kid’s museum in Fayetteville doesn’t even come close  to this one! The kiddos had a blast and it even seems they might’ve learned some things what is always good. Here are some pictures from that: 

After the museum we decided to check Buttermilk Falls

, I wish the picture actually did justice for the falls, they are HIGH! And we got brave enaugh to hike up to the top…yeah not having a backpack for Jack and being cooped up without any hiking practice for about 4 months now, made this whole thing a bit difficult, here is a video of us half way-

(you can tell we were not prepared and hiked with a stroller for goodness sakes!!!)

Ethan and Jayden however did not have any problems getting up the steepest and longest mountain we have ever hiked! if it wasn’t for the boys running way ahead and disappearing the minute they could catch a glimpse of us we would’ve probably turned around and walked right back down, but we did have to catch them to turn them around, but it never happened…

We ended our super good trip with a stop at a playground since a “little hike” with an insane incline was not enough to stop two little boys, they always have some more energy for playing. But it turned out to be a nice park with a creek right behind the playground what was a good thing since Ethan and Jayden were pretty bummed out for not being able to play in the water at the falls. And Jack got to play in the creek for the first time in his young life.

Me and Jack bailed on the creek pretty fast and enjoyed the playground and got his little feet dried in the sun. he also got to experience his first bare feet walk in the grass.

Jack-a-boo loved the grass under his feet but was not a fan of it touching his legs while sitting down, what a silly boy!

And now i will go and get some things set up for out own Easter egg hunt we are going to be having tomorrow, Ethan is so excited about that, maybe i will get motivated enough to blog about that too.

What a good day we had!

P.S. Ethan and Jayden are absolutely conked out in the living room, so sweet!
