Vacation

We took a few days to explore our new surroundings during our vacation. We drove to Ithaca, NY, which is just a beautiful area. We will go back sometime when it isn't move-in weekend at Cornell! We also went to see Taughannock Falls - which was a wonder of rock, wood, and water. We walked with a tour guide and she was great, though the one girl that was with us made us want to ditch the tour! She was a prepubescent, know-it-all of the truest sense. All we could do was laugh and make sure we didn't have to walk back to the beginning of the trail with her! The falls and the surrounding landscape made us aware of our smallness and the greatness of God's grandeur. The tour made me realize I have to learn all I can about what Creationism says about the creation of these falls so that I can speak truth to Demani. Here's some pics from the falls.

There are seven parks around our area that have carousels. The man behind these carousels was turned away from a carousel as a child because he didn't have money to ride and so the carousels are free! We visited Recreation Park yesterday and had a fabulous time together. We had a little picnic and just enjoyed the sunshine and being together. It was very relaxing. Demani tried his puffs and actually enjoyed them! He was sooo cute! Demani had his first carousel ride, I am not so sure what he thought about it though. Mathwon and I were a little queasy by the time we jumped off our horses...

This morning we hung out with our new friends back at Apple Hill for breakfast and we are going to have dinner at their place this evening. Being able to just chat with people and share your experiences with each other has given us a boost. We still get homesick though.... :)
