How 'bout a bike ride on the Erie Canal? That's how we began our day! It was Kelsey's longest solo ride to date, and Kendall never complained about her somewhat obstructed view. :-) We hoped to see a boat moving along the canal, but no luck. The ride was so beautiful, and our only companions were a lot of geese and, at the end and just in time to take a photo for us, a couple of nice ladies out for a casual ride like us. The towpaths of most canals have now been converted to bike trails, and we'd love to explore many others.
Trying to outrun the rain predicted for later in the day, we had put off school til after the ride. The girls did some excellent work, and it paid off in a much-anticipated trip to the movie theather to see "Cars 2". As I make these notes of our day, the girls and Stan are at the bounce pillow...they will miss it when we move on. Thus far, each of our campgrounds has had something unique that helps it stick in our memory. The bounce pillow will be hard to beat.
We have enjoyed both days you did something at the Erie Canal; each of us remembers singing a song about the Erie Canal when we were in school. It's great to visit it vicariously with you!
ReplyDeleteI think that Stan should swim the Canal!
