jmonsters

From 2009 Misc

We decide to mount up and head over to Bur Mil Park and do some walking on the Greenway. Daddy was getting into a funk and was ready to string the jmonsters up by their heals, (not that they didn’t deserve it or be better served with some “Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe" Treatment).

We packed up the bikes in the back of the van and ended up a little lost. We had been there once before, but stopped a little short and had to repack up the bikes and head down to the Nature Barn where the entrance to the Greenway is.

We hiked for a couple of miles down to the bridge and back, and the jmonsters rode their bikes along parts of the Owl’s Roost Trail. On the way back we saw a Great Blue Heron perched in the fishing pond. All the walking did the trick and tired Daddy out enough where he didn’t have the energy to take his frustrations out on a misbehaving child, (not that any live in the household).

We ended the hike with a quick tour through the Wildlife Center at the park. It was pretty neat, and they had all kinds of critters. The biggest hits where the huge ‘ol iguana, rat snakes that come in a variety of different colors, guinea pigs, and a big fat lop-eared rabbit that you could pet. 

We headed back to the house for dinner, and watched Mr. Deed’s after doing up the dishes.

Daddy got a pretty neat treat and had a chance to hike around Nescopeck State Park when we stopped in Pennsylvania on our way up to New York for the week. The park was beautiful, an from what I understand used to be an old farmstead. Everything was dew laden, so I was pretty soaked by the end of the hike, and the bugs where pretty thick. A couple of pictures are blurry because of me swatting horse flies, man they hurt.

A great start to a day…
