July 20-23 Cora's Visit

“Granddaughters are like flowers; you never get tired of watching them grow.” -Anonymous
It was finally Cora's turn to come to the boat. We picked her up Saturday afternoon and brought her to the house. We had a fun evening and were ready early on Sunday to head to the lake. Cora mastered riding her bike without training wheels in June and last week she got a new bike. So this visit was all about riding her bike. We have amazing bike trials around our marina, it's a great safe place to ride. In three days Cora rode just over 27 miles.

In between rides we painted rocks, made beaded bracelets, did a little shopping, visited a few waterfalls and played games. She also earned a little money by cleaning the boat. The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful time. We truly love these visits.

This is the map of our last bike ride. It was 5.5 miles. Cora loves her bike.
Cora was watching the boats come and go on Sunday afternoon.
Cora loves to help out, she swept, dusted and even did the dishes.
We love to do crafts together.
One day we went to our favorite secret spot for lunch and a little fun in the water.
Looking down the creek from the waterfall.
Cora had fun catching the little fish in the creek.
And of course no summer vacation would be complete without ice cream.
We literally have 100s of waterfalls in our county...this is the most impressive, but Taughannock Falls didn't have much water on this day.
This little falls is located on the Black Diamond Bike Trail.
