After the Rains
The rain finally stopped yesterday morning.
But not before dumping a tremendous amount of water.
The local streams and rivers are swollen.
The pond is the highest it has been this year.
After morning chores were finished,
we packed up the kayaks and headed for the Juniata river.
Since Amanda had gone back to Philadelphia,
and Jenn was home with baby Tyler,
it was just Hubbs and I and the boys.
(Andy and Ryan)
We did a seven mile trip....
downstream.
(Mom and Andy)
(Hubbs)
Along the way, we saw lots of snowy egrets...
and blue herons
We paddled and floated and shot a few rapids...
nothing dangerous or extreme....
just a quiet trip with beautiful scenery.
The day was finished with dinner at a small local micro-brewery
for local fare and local beer and wine.
Baby Tyler was his usual self....
Our Staycation ends today with early morning golf for the guys,
a trip to our local county fair,
and a campfire supper.
It has been a wonderful week.
Lots of memories have been made
here at Bee Haven Acres.
Join us next week
for more fun on the farm
as life goes back to its usual pace.
