This Easter we took a trip to New Jersey on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we had a wonderful day getting Trafton some new summer clothes at the Carter's outlet in Tannersville and having lunch at the Barley Creek Brew Pub just down the road from there. We sat right next to our local weathercouple Tom and Noreen Clark, which we got a kick out of :) Then on Sunday we had a terrific hike at Jenny Jump and an early Easter dinner at Al's house. Daniel had to work on Monday, so we hit the road back to Bloomsburg shortly after dinner.
In our backyard with the cutest Easter basket that my former coworker, Holly, made for Trafton
This Easter chick dances and plays (loudly) the funky chicken. Whenever we turn it on, Trafton gets so scared, he immediately bursts into what we call his unbreatheable fuss (the kind of cry where I just am not sure he is getting enough oxygen because his face gets purple and he doesn't seem to take a breath for way too long)!
Next to our shed enjoying picking off tulip petals
Picking flower petals from the rhododendron bush
Neighbor's flowers
Is there anything else in that basket besides these empty plastic eggs?
Lounging with daddy on Easter morning
Easter breakfast
Trafton is excited about this Easter basket from his future aunts, Courtney and Melissa. In there were some bananas and some different types of crunchy cereal that he is just loving!
Chillin' with Uncle Mike
Rolling around on the porch, seeing what kind of trouble he could get in to :)
Ready for our Easter hike at Jenny Jump! It was much hotter than I thought it was going to be.
Trailhead
After we had been hiking in for a while, we passed a couple coming out who told us that they had just passed a bear a little further on. I really had no interest in running into this bear, especially since s/he so recently woke from hibernation and was most likely hungry . . . so we walked a little further on, but not too much more.
The remains of the foundation of an old cabin with a beautiful overlook. This is where we decided to turn around. There were so many ups and downs along the trail which would have made it so easy to come way too close to a bear without warning. We never ran into the bear, fortunately.
Trafton started to fuss a little so I held him for a bit as we walked out of the woods.
My little tree-hugger :)
Trafton gets heavy quick, so I passed him back to Daniel who carried him out the rest of his way on his shoulders.
By the time we were finished, Trafton was exhausted. Must have been all that hiking he did . . . wait a minute, no, maybe all the fresh mountain air!
There was a swingset just up the road from the trailhead near the entrance to the park. We play for a bit, but Trafton was about ready for a nap.
