Trip to the Catskills and Yasgur's farm


This year for vacation we spent a few days in the Catskills.  We got an early start and stopped for breakfast on our way to Poughkeepsie.  


Our first day we went looking for a nice hike.  Check out the views.


 We hiked up a short trail at Bear Mountain reserve.  It was gorgeous.


We hiked down a little cave and gully.

  Then, after a little lunch, we took a drive to Yasgur's farm, the site of the Woodstock concert.  Who knew that Woodstock was not in Woodstock New York, but in Bethel NY!  Outside the museum, Noah was practicing some karate kicks.

While Sophie was posing beautifully!

Sitting at the monument.  Behind us is the field and hill that held the 600,000 people at the concert.  It was really cool, and even the kids had a great time.

More Catskill fun coming up.

Skydiving in Philadelphia

Yes, we went "skydiving".  Sort of.  For Hudson Miller's birthday Noah and Sophie were invited to go to iFLY.

First they had to get their flight suits on.

Sophie's getting ready to go!

Helmet on? Check.  Goggles?  Check.  Flight suit closed up?  Check.

Sophie is indeed flying.  The instructor is just holder her from flying to high and from flying into the glass!

There she is!

And her comes Noah!


And to see the real fun, go to:

Summer fun

We've been neglecting the blog for a while.  These photos are from early summer.  Sophie came to home depot to help get all the things for our garden (sort of!)

Having a fun play date with Sean at his house

And with Sean at Rose Tree Woods pool

Sophie's Karate Class.  She's in the pink shirt

We had a free weekend and went to Ocean City and stayed at the Port O Call.  It turned out the be warm and sunny and we had a really nice time time.  Hadn't gone to the shore just for the weekend before.

This lady owns the arcade!

And what cool rollercoaster.  Riding by herself!

Sophie and David went down the log flume.  David was scared. Sophie loved it.

Fresh, warm homemade donuts at Bob's!

We had fun!

Back at home it's time to get cleaned up and put a little make up on

Then get back to camp and horseback riding.
