Happy Birthday, Mom!

Holy Hiking Club, Robin- You're way too young for a life on the road!
These woods are riddled w/ logging trails, which reminds me of a logging trail riddle-
Q: Why did the frog call a lumber trail Home?
A: His life was in a rut. ROLTL






This goes for you, too- Carl the janitor.

Happy Birthday, Hope!

Now- Where is that present?

Is it under the bush?

Oops... Not Here!


Oh... that's right! It's in our Hearts!

IT'S OUR LOVE!!

Mother's Day & The Many Parks of Corning

For today's hike, Chris and I left the baby w/ Grandma and spent the morning checking out each of downtown Corning's 7 parks: McKinley, Canfield, Denison, Little Joe, Riverside, William St. & Hillview. Although I had visited each many times, seeing them all at once was quite impressive- especially with 3 of the seven being right on the Chemung River. Soccer- Baseball- Frisbee Golf- Tennis- Volleyball- Swimming- Adult and Child Swings- Kiddie Playgrounds w/ plastic dinasaurs (of various colors, sizes and ferocities,) BBQ grills, Gazebos & countless flowering trees in blossom. These Parks Have It All!






















So, if you still think there's nothing to do in Corning- just put down your beer (or put it in a paper cup) -and walk around for a couple of minutes. These parks are all over the place!
