Four Mile Creek


Our campsite.  It was on Lake Ontario!!



Lake Ontario - the largest of the Great Lakes.


The beach was very different than the sandy ones we are used to.  But I guess that's to be expected since this is a lake and not an ocean.




Game time at the campsite.  Looks like Colby just won something!  Just beyond the boy's tent lies the lake!



This is where Four Mile Creek ends - running into Lake Ontario.


We spent all afternoon exploring the creek and lake.  It was really beautiful!



The rocks here are especially good for skipping across the water!


K walked through some poison ivy and needed to wash her legs and feet off...with lake grass!

Letchworth State Park

The Eastern Grand Canyon


Stopped for lunch on our way to New York.



Caught in a looooong traffic jam.  LOVE Kristine's toes!



Mmmmm!!!   Stopped for fresh apples at an orchard stand and enjoyed a yummy warm apple sundae!!



So....we were about 12" away from the outlet.  :(  No power to the pop up that night!



The view was breathtaking!!



We visited the Middle Falls that first evening to see them lit up!



We spent the next day hiking and exploring.






The Upper Falls.




Yep!  That was quite a hike up those steps.  Little did we know what awaited us at our last park!
