Letchworth State Park

Day 2 took us to Letchworth State Park. It was a lovely hike with several waterfalls and a pretty bridge:

On the way back we stopped at Weis Vineyards:

Then all four of us decided to go golfing at Arrowhead Creek (best ball of course):

And then cleaned up and headed to dinner at the Switz(erland Inn) for dinner. It had great views of the water on Keuka:

Ithaca

While the kids were at SB2W, we went to the Finger Lakes! On our drive there, we stopped at a place called Jackass Brewing in Williamsport, PA. It was fine, but service was sloooooow and we were hungry!

Day one we went to Ithaca. We hiked Buttermilk Falls State Park to start out...

Then we drove to Cornell and checked out Ithaca Falls:


We went to lunch at Glenwood Pines - famous for their burger served on Ithaca Bakery french bread. It was delicious!

We hiked at Taughannock Falls State Park:

Then slowly wandered back to where we were staying...stopping at Wagner Vineyards and Wagner Valley Brewing on the way - a great spot.

And Cayuga Lake Creamery for ice cream.

From there we went back to the house. The guys went golfing and Ashley and I went kayaking on Waneta Lake:

Sand Soccer - Dune Divas

This year Jane had a couple friends ask her if she wanted to play on their sand soccer team. She has never played before, but the rest of the girls had been playing together for a few years now. She decided to try it and loved it!

It's very physical, which plays well to Jane's strengths.

On day one they lost their first game and then won their second.

In between games it was time to run into the surf and cool off!

Then they went to the hotel pool to rinse off the sand...

We ate snacks, read books, took naps...

We went out to lunch at CP Schuckers:

Then it was back to the beach:

And then back onto the field:

Jane scored her first sand soccer goal over the goalie's head in game 2:

Win for the Dune Divas!

We went to get ice cream and then headed to the stadium to watch the professionals play...which was very entertaining!

Day two was HOT.

Their Sunday game was a fierce battle that ended in a 0-0 tie. Not bad for the first year!
