Allegany State Park

I think every child loves to play with fire. Oliver did learn how hot it is with a little burn.

This girl thinks she can do everything her older brother and sister do.

Hiking up to the Bear Caves. As we were hiking whenever Oliver saw someone else he would yell out, "There's a hiker!", like it was so amazing to see someone else hiking where we were.

Going down into a cave.

Inside one of the caves.

This cave was just right.

I loved the moss all over!

She is stuck, it doesn't look steep, but it was. She would get so mad when she couldn't follow.

That little girl was trying to give me a heart attack.

Inside another cave.

Violette wasn't sure if she really wanted to follow this time.

So I am one of those paranoid Moms constantly telling their children don't do this or that because you'll fall and get hurt. By the end of the hike I was a little better at letting Oliver climb where he wanted to.

They seriously could throw rocks for hours!

Saturday night it started dumping rain on us. So we were stuck inside.

It poured all night long with out letting up. It rained so much water came up from the bottom of our tent and soaked half of our bedding.

Violette was not a happy camper on the way home, can you see Penelepe has her ears covered. Our poor car was packed! Plus we had a cargo top carrier and bikes on the back. We started our trip planning on being gone for a week camping at Allegany and then making it over to the Finger Lakes area, but we only made it 2 days! Our car was already having trouble before we left and we sure didn't help it by packing so heavy. Then when our bedding got soaked, its not like you can hang it out to dry here with all the rain and humidity, so we decided to change plans and go home. It has rained the past 2 days so we're glad we came back.
