Since the cabin was directly on the water, the big boys would fish every chance they had. Poor Trenton could only watch because he was too little. One day you will be out there with them, Trent! Although Daddy didn't have a catch, Opa had a dozen, including a huge rainbow trout. It was impressive! At the same time, Trenton couldn't even get that close to the river because it was dangerous. Needless to say, it was tiring staying "on guard" while he was playing. Luckily, he would occupy himself with puddles and dirt frequently giving us a few breaks.
Mommy, Granna, Opa and Trenton took a hike while we waited for Daddy to get off work. It was Mommy's first time with the back carrier. Trenton seemed to still enjoy it. It was a short, sweet hike--perfect for the additional back weight!
We took Trenton to his first apple orchard, Mercier Orchards. He loved sitting on the big tractor and tasting their homemade applesauce and apple cider. The adults also enjoyed taking home an apple pie for dessert later! Mommy got a bag of mutzu apples to bring home, which she had never had before. The orchard had a toy section and Trenton definitely got curious in there testing out the country boy toys.
One of our highlights from the trip was the day trip to the swinging bridge. Opa had found this fun hike; however, we were worried about how Granna would deal with the 3 mile off roading experience and the bridge suspended above the river. She did great and Daddy was in heaven hitting mud puddles along the drive. It was a perfect hike because once you were over the bridge, the land was shaded and flat. Trenton could run around safely and play for a bit before getting back into his carrier.
We're ready for the waterfall hike!
Trenton liked seeing the waterfall splash at the top of the hike.
Trenton disregards Opa fishing on the banks to play with the leaves.
He was so interested in the ground and all its mess!
Whoa! Look at Opa's big catch!
Trenton's first ride on a tracker!
What a big boy driving the tractor!
Our little Tom Sawyer with his 'coon hat on his head and a slingshot in his hand!
A hiking we will go! A hiking we will go! (That was the theme song on our hikes and Trenton sings outloud with the best of them!)
Trenton loves his Granna and Opa!
Granna made it onto the bridge (and she even crossed it!)
Here we are about to cross the bridge!
Even Trenton was fascinated with the water rushing below.
It was a gorgeous sight to see the sunlight hitting the water and the swinging bridge overhead.
Trenton and Granna grab a snack.
Yay, time to play!
Trenton would pick up anything that caught his eye.
Mommy and Trenton play peek-a-boo around the hemlocks.
Trenton liked to push his truck on the gravel road outside the cabin and fill the back of it with treasures (aka rocks and twigs!)
Granna showed Trenton how to throw rock in the puddles to keep him away from the river, but then we had to keep him out of the mud!
Swinging in the hammock was fun!
Oops, my lil' leggies have fallen through!
This is the story of our life lately.......chasing Trent!
Trenton said Opa for the first time this weekend! He is the first person, besides Mommy and Daddy, he has been able to say. Ah, he loves his Opa!
