weekend in the mountains- part 2

Andrew's first hike (he LOVED it!).
We spent an afternoon at Fall Brook, checking out the orange newts (or were they salamanders?) and ducking the downpours of rain.

The last few pictures (scroll to the bottom of the page) are downshots of the falls - look for Scott and Chris below!

Weekend in the mountains - part 1

Friday after school Chris picked up Scott and Evyn for a trip to the Martins' cabin near Canton PA.  Scott's parents had left earlier and were waiting for them there;  Andrew and I drove up Saturday morning.  In no particular order, some pictures from our trip~

Labor Day weekend

After the first week of school (ok, 4 days) Evyn and Scott took a trip to the Martin cabin in Tioga County to spend the holiday weekend with Grams, Pops, Aunt Chris, and pup Lexie.

When Scott & Evyn arrived home Sunday evening, Andrew couldn't contain his excitement. He followed Evyn all over the living room - and when she sat down with him, he attacked her! They missed each other like crazy.
