SPECIAL PAGES

July 17-20 Cora's Visit

“My granddaughter is the adventurous co-conspirator I've always wanted.” -Author Unknown 

The summer is flying by and it seemed like Cora had to wait a long time for her special time at the boat. But she really got the best weather and we had a great time filling every minute with fun activities. We made time to ride the scooter, explore around the marina, hike, shop, paint, string beads, play in the water, cook, have picnics, see waterfalls, play at the park and ride on our little runabout. We made a lot of great memories.

A picnic at Buttermilk Falls.
We love doing arts and crafts together.
Cora is a great little artist with a great imagination.
"What happens at Mimi's. Stays at Mimi's." But it's fun to send a few pictures home to torment the siblings. Hahahaha
Cora and I went to Michael's to get art supplies and she found something she wanted to buy. So she did a little work around the boat to earn the money she needed. She truly had fun sweeping, washing dishes, washing the windows and wiping down the decks.
No summer visit to the boat would be complete without a trip to an ice cream shop.
We spent one full day at Taughannock State Park. First we walked to the bottom of the falls. Exploring along the way and walking in the creek.
Cora loves nature and she had fun in the water and finding bugs, frogs and earthworms. Everything on a hike is interesting to her.
Taughannock Falls. Cora was only six months old the first time she came to this falls. She enjoyed it much more this time.
After hiking we had a picnic lunch near the lake...also at the same park. Cora and I love to do crafts, no matter where we go.
Taughannock Park has a wonderful new playground...Cora thought it was a lot of fun.
One of our favorite things to do is to take our runabout up the inlet to The Boatyard Grill for dessert. It was a beautiful evening so when we were done we also took a ride in the lake. It was a great way to end a wonderful day.
This is why we have our runabout. Seeing how happy it makes the kids means the world to us.
