Haystacks

The Friday that the fair was in town, Daniel's school district was closed, so we decided to take one of our favorite hikes to the Haystacks in World's End. It had rained so much that the Loyalsock was overflowing and the haystacks were actually completely under water! (The 'haystacks' are large smooth rocks that resemble haystacks rising from the water - they are great to play on and swim around in the summer!) It was neat to see such floodwaters. Some parts of the trail were pretty wet, but mostly the trail was okay for walking on. Trafton did great! He stayed awake until right before we came upon the water, then we woke him up to change his diaper and turn him around so he could sleep on the walk out.

So excited!

Trafton didn't quite make it to the water before falling asleep.

Autumn baby!

We turned him facing Daddy's chest so he could get some sleep.

Snacktime - that hike made us both hungry!
