Waterfall Visit #2

After our waterfall adventure last week Kimball has developed a keen interest in waterfalls.  He and Joseph checked out a book from the library that shows all of the major Waterfalls in New York.  We let Kimball pick a second waterfall for us to visit this week that was closer to our house.  Kimball chose Pratt's Falls. The hike to the main waterfall was very short...probably less than 5 minutes.

Since we didn't have to hike far to see the first waterfall we were able to convince Rebecah to continue on with our hike on other trails so we could see some of the smaller, unnamed waterfalls also in the area.  Rebecah didn't realize it, but we walked farther on this trip than we did the previous week but the trail wasn't very steep so her stamina was much better.  I also came equipped with more snacks.  Rebecah wanted her own bag of treats to hold so I gave her a baggie of chocolate chips and goldfish crackers.  She was in heaven!

 Kimball liked all of the smaller waterfalls and he gave them all little names.  Some of his names were Kimball falls and Loneg (pronounced like lone with a "g" sound on the end) Falls.

 Rebecah LOVED being our trail blazer and pace setter.  She was so excited to be out in the lead.  We made sure to take turns being the leader and the caboose so there wasn't any fighting.  Rebecah was a great caboose when she was eating her snacks.

I believe this was Kimball's "Loneg Falls".

We had a lot of fun on this adventure and Kimball has many other waterfalls that he wants to visit including one that requires a 2 hour hike!  That might be one for just Joseph.  I don't know if Rebecah would ever go on another hike if we made her hike 2 hours in one direction!  There are so many beautiful places to visit.
