End of the summer....
It started to get chilly in the morning and the evening. Sadly, we can feel the summer is ending here in PA.
To enjoy the little bit of summer left, we took a short trip to the Ohiopyle State Park today. People go there to do the White Water Rafting and other water/boat related activities down the huge river and some falls. I knew Charlie will enjoy hiking and playing in the water, but I was very skeptical about taking Butter with us. I didn't want one of us to end up not being able to hike because he can't make it, Butter ending up with bad leg ache, or tripping and hurting himself. Despite of my concern, one of my kids protested that, he always miss out on hiking, and she will stay back if he cannot walk. Ok. We will take him then.... Amazingly, Butter actually seemed to enjoy himself today. He even went near the water, and walked the trial all the way through with smile on his face! ( We took the shortest trail and the short-cut back to the car ) On the way back, we stopped at roadside tent and bought some fresh produce, which I cooked for dinner.
It is so refreshing to see the large body of water moving about, and being surrounded by the trees and woods.
It truly washes your soul and bring you peace. I think Butter felt the same. Even after we got home, he did not limp his old legs, ate and went to sleep with sense of contentment.
