Ithaca - the pause that refreshes...

Just realized I never shared this!
About a month ago, we went for a drive after church and ended up in Ithaca, NY.  I've wanted to visit Ithaca for at least 10 years, so it was a great mini-road rip.  These pictures just don't do it justice though.  It really is a beautiful area ...

It was a beautiful drive.  The landscape flattened out a bit - it was like a  breath of fresh air!



We found this amazing waterfall right off the road - would love to go back in summer - there were lots of trails...



























Also drove around the Cornell campus.  We were shocked at how large it is!  It  is massive and the buildings are gorgeous!  Sorry, the photos were taken from the car :).




Not a great picture (taken from the car), but this is the view from a high bridge over a huge gorge - like I said the picture doesn't do this justice - the drop-off is crazy!  You can kind of see the bottom if you look closely.  Gorges and waterfalls abound in Ithaca - so much to do and see - one day cannot do it justice!

Finally, we caught a glimpse of the lowest Finger Lake.  The weather was mild with the first hints of spring.  It was such a  peaceful, refreshing day...




Big sister the photographer! :o)

Spring!

Spring is here!  Well, at least for one day.  We soaked up every drop of warm sunshine we could.  Little brother had a blast playing in the yard for the first time...and big sister was more than eager to show him the ropes...
Little man walking


Can't quite let go of winter!
He LOVED the neighbor's red bouncer ball.

He did not want to let go for anything -
even when he fell over!


The first dandelions!!!



Growing up so fast...

Winter days

Sister having a blast in the snow...even though it's pretty much gone now.  Sounds like you all have a lot more back home!




Brother staying warm and cozy inside...and jumping in the jumperoo.  :)






Fun together

Blueberry muffins... :)



The sliding glass door provided a great way to "hit" each other without getting hurt - they loved it!

Back again...


It was a beautiful, restful Nativity season.  Time spent with our church and our family and lots of fun in the snow...  Now it's back again...time to get to work!
