its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

July 14-18 Graham's Visit

“Grandsons are loving reminders of what we are really here for.” -Anonymous
Wow this was Graham's seventh year to come stay on the boat. He has grown up so much. The activities he once thought were fun have fallen by the wayside and we had to find new places to explore this year. Finding things to do around the lake to entertain Graham was not hard. There are endless places to explore and things to do. We went boating, hiking, biking and swimming. We even found time to bowl and play basketball...and of course eating ice cream.

The best place to be on a warm summer day is on the lake...even better in the lake. Graham loves being pulled on the tube.
The lake water is warming up and it felt amazing being in the water.
Now that Graham is older we can do some of the wonderful hikes in our area. We hiked the upper loop at Robert Treman one morning. This is the bottom of Lucifer Falls.
Part of the hike along Enfield Creek.
This picture was taken near the top of Lucifer Falls.
The lower falls at Robert Treman State Park has a wonderful swimming hole, complete with a pretty high diving board.
This is our secret little waterfall. I'm sure lots of locals know where this is but it's definitely hidden from all the tourists. It's a great place to spend a warm afternoon.
We also spent time playing basketball.
We did part of the Black Diamond Bike Trail one day. We stopped at one of the many waterfalls along the way.
Williams Brook comes down the hill and makes a nice little place to relax or even have a picnic. 
It goes through this opening that runs under the bike trail and down the hill to the road and then to the lake. We had fun exploring it.
We spent one evening bowling and eating dinner at Atlas Bowl in Trumansburg.
Just a few of the servings of ice cream Graham had during his visit. He loves ice cream.
